Click It or Ticket It campaign starts this week

ALPENA, Mich.— The seat belt enforcement campaign Click It or Ticket It starts this week. As the Thanksgiving holiday approaches drivers can expect more patrol cars on the road.

The Michigan Office of Highway safety planning is encouraging drivers and passengers to always wear their seat belts when traveling. Michigan law requires all passengers in a vehicle to buckle up.

If you are caught not wearing your seat belt, you are subjected to a $65 fine. Communications Manager Kendall Wingrove explains their goal is not to give tickets, but to educate and enforce the law.

The campaign will run until the end of November.
