ATLANTA (AP) - The statewide "Click It Or Ticket" campaign
begins Monday.
State officials are promising around-the-clock enforcement
during the campaign, which is aimed at reducing fatalities and
injuries during the Thanksgiving travel period.
Concentrated patrols will check for seat belt violators on
interstates by day, and there will be road checks on state and
county roads at night.
Bob Dallas is director of the Governor's Office of Highway
Safety. He says that the campaign isn't about writing tickets, but
saving lives.
Dallas says 136 lives could have been saved in 2008 if all
drivers and passengers had been wearing seat belts during serious
crashes.
