Statewide law enforcement to participate in nationwide
“Click It or Ticket” campaign May 18 – 31
(OKLAHOMA CITY) – Law enforcement agencies across the state will be taking part in the annual “Click It or Ticket” mobilization May 18 – 31, cracking down on drivers and passengers who are not buckled up according to state law.
“Those who choose not to wear a seat belt will feel the heat during this campaign,” said OHP Lt. Troy German, statewide occupant protection coordinator. “Motorists should buckle up every time they go out, both day and night – no warnings and no excuses.”
Oklahoma law requires drivers and front seat passengers age 13 and over to have a safety belt properly fastened at all times the vehicle is being operated. Children age 12 and younger are required to be properly restrained in the appropriate car seat, booster seat or seat belt, according to the child’s age and weight.
“We can’t make the decision to buckle up for you, and we hope it won’t take getting a ticket to help you remember to fasten that seat belt or buckle your child correctly,” German said. “Unless you want to risk a ticket – or, even worse, your life – you must buckle up.”
