Seat belts save lives. The national Click It or Ticket traffic mobilization begins Monday, May 18, through Sunday, May 31, 2026. The Stephens County Sheriff’s Office Traffic Enforcement Unit will be joining the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the Georgia Governor’s Office of Highway Safety to enforce seatbelt safety.
“In 2024, 9,758 passenger vehicle occupants killed in crashes were not wearing seat belts. Among the young adults (18 to 34) passenger vehicle occupants killed in 2024, 59% were unbuckled, one of the highest percentages for all age groups,” according to the NHTSA.
It takes less than 10 seconds to buckle your seatbelt. If you are a driver or a passenger in a vehicle, take those few seconds to buckle up before traveling. It could save your life should an accident occur.
We don’t want to see you hurt because you didn’t take the time to buckle your seatbelt. Click it, or our Traffic Enforcement Unit will write you a ticket.
