As summer kicks off and families hit the road for vacation, the Crossville Police Department and the Fairfield Glade Police Department are partnering with the Tennessee Highway Safety Office (THSO) to remind motorists to Click It or Ticket. From May 20 through June 2, participating agencies across the state will increase seat belt enforcement as part of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s (NHTSA) nationwide mobilization.
According to Tennessee’s Integrated Traffic Analysis Network (TITAN), 43% of males killed in Tennessee crashes last year were unrestrained. Of females killed in crashes, 35% were not buckled up. Participating law enforcement agencies will be taking a no-excuses approach to seat belt law enforcement, writing citations day and night.
