Buckle that belt — or else

As part of the national Click It or Ticket seat belt enforcement campaign, law enforcement agencies across Arizona will step up traffic enforcement patrols and increase other enforcement efforts to drive home the message, “Buckle Up Arizona … It’s the Law!” The enforcement runs through June 3.

Although Arizona has a secondary seat belt law, the enforcement campaign is based upon high visibility traffic enforcement with a “zero-tolerance” approach toward seat belt and child safety seat usage.

Despite widespread efforts to educate drivers about the importance of wearing seat belts, motor vehicles collisions continue to be the leading cause of death and serious injuries to the Arizona residents.

    You can't be serious! I was out driving the past couple of days and on "several" accounts I had a driver in front of me (clearly not wearing a seat belt) and one even with a child not buckled up, and this is WITH a police car driving beside me in the other lane. This was NOT on the highway, but on a one of the surface streets going around 40mph. The police were not in pursuit of anyone, just going the same speed as I. You can't tell me that this officer did not see the car right in front of his cruiser had a non-buckled driver? Whatever
