South Brunswick Police to Take Part in Nationwide
Click It or Ticket Mobilization May 22 – June 4, 2017
South Brunswick Police Chief Raymond Hayducka announced today that South Brunswick officers will again take part in the nationwide effort to increase seatbelt usage. The national campaign called “Click it or Ticket” focuses on enforcement and education.
Beginning May 22 and running through June 4, the annual “Click It or Ticket” national mobilization utilizes high visibility seat belt checkpoints and saturation patrols, in combination with local and national publicity efforts, to reiterate the life-saving value of seat belts.
“Using a seat belt is the simplest way for a driver and his or her passengers to protect themselves when traveling,” said Gary Poedubicky, Acting Director of the New Jersey Division of Highway Traffic Safety. In 2015, it is estimated that 14,000 lives were saved nationally by the proper use of seat belts.
Poedubicky added that a key focus of this year’s campaign is to promote seat belt usage by adults in all seating positions in the vehicle, both front AND rear seats. The front seat belt usage rate in New Jersey currently stands at 93.35%. However, adults riding in rear seats are buckling up at a significantly lower rate. “For whatever reason there seems to be a disconnect with people feeling they don’t need to buckle up when riding as a passenger in rear seats, and this is a concern,” he said.
“Police officers see first-hand the injuries and deaths that result from crashes with people not wearing seatbelts. Last year in the Township, one person was killed in a crash as a direct result of not wearing a seatbelt,” said Chief Hayducka. “Our focus is saving lives through increased compliance. We are putting out advanced notice of our enforcement efforts so that seatbelt usage goes up even prior to the enforcement,” he added. In February of this year a 23 year old man was saved by his seatbelt after he lost control on Davidson Mill Road and crashed into a pole. "The photo clearly shows that if not for the driver wearing his seatbelt the outcome would have been tragic," said Chief Hayducka.
During the 2016 “Click it or Ticket” campaign, 387 New Jersey police agencies participated in the two-week initiative. As a result of the effort, law enforcement officers issued 26,551 seat belt citations, 5,517 speeding summonses and made 876 impaired driving arrests.
