Police participating in youth seat belt enforcement

Posted

The Marthasville and Truesdale police departments are joining with other statewide law enforcement agencies for an aggressive youth seat belt mobilization crackdown.The campaign will continue through March 31.Only 67 percent of Missouri teens wear their seat belts when driving or riding in a motor vehicle. Eight out of 10 teens killed in traffic crashes are unbuckled.Under the graduated driver’s license (GDL) law, teens are required to wear their waist belt as it’s a primary offense, meaning they can be pulled over solely for not wearing their seat belt. Seat belt use is the single-most effective way to protect people and reduce fatalities in motor vehicle crashes.For more information on seat belt usage, visit www.savemolives.com.Police participating in youth seat belt enforcement
