State police officials say their troopers and officers from more than 500 police agencies will be setting up safety restraint checkpoints throughout New York starting Monday and running through June third.
The enforcement measures are timed to coincide with the Memorial Day weekend and the unofficial start of the summer travel season.
Police officials say about 15% of motorists in New York state still fail to wear seat belts.
During last year’s “Buckle Up America Week,” state police say troopers issued more than 10,000 tickets to motorists who weren’t wearing seat belts. [ap]
speeding at 91 mph with a seatbelt on is much safer than without one…
tell them to come to NJ and start with corzine!
so they can give tickets to the people they decided just put their seatbelt on when it was really on the entire time!
