Click It or Ticket Campaign Begins Days Before Holiday Weekend

Seat belts double your chance of survival in a crash and reduce injury rates by 50%, but only 83% of Texans regularly wear their seat belts.

Authorities are looking for those 17% who aren't wearing their safety belts. Police officers, sheriff's deputies and DPS troopers are out in full force looking for seat belt violators.

The Click It or Ticket campaign began Monday and runs through June 5th. Tickets can cost you anywhere from $25 to $200 so buckle up.
