About Click It
America's safety belt campaign
Click It or Ticket is the most successful safety belt enforcement campaign ever. Started by North Carolina in 1993, it has helped push the national safety belt rate to 82%.
During the campaign’s annual May mobilization, law enforcement agencies across the country crack down on drivers and passengers who fail to buckle up.
Every percentage point increase in safety belt use saves an estimated 270 lives, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
Click or Ticket Florida
Since Florida joined the Click It or Ticket campaign in 2001, safety belt use has jumped 22%. In 2007, Florida’s safety belt rate was 79.1%, up from 64.8% in 2000.
During last year's May mobilization, Florida law enforcement officers wrote 28,788 safety belt citations.
The 2008 Click It or Ticket mobilization runs May 19 through June 1.
