1. Starting today, law enforcement agencies across the state and country will be focusing their efforts on ensuring motorists are safely buckled while on the road during the annual Click It Or Ticket Campaign.
That means more officers will be patrolling and focusing on those who aren't wearing a seat belt, including those who have the shoulder strap under their arms.
According to the state's website, a ticket could cost $65.
Also, for anyone who has a child in a car seat or a booster seat, it's a great time to make sure those are properly installed as well.
