The Deal Police Department will be participating in the Click-it or Ticket campaign this year beginning May 22nd through June 4th. Please use your seatbelt every time you’re in a vehicle. It could save your life!

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Seat belts are the single most effective safety technology in the history of the automobile. A NHTSA study of lives saved by vehicle technologies found that, between 1960 and 2012, seat belts saved more lives—329,715, to be exact—than all other vehicle technologies combined, including air bags, energy-absorbing steering assemblies, and electronic stability control. Of course, seat belts have been available much longer than many of the other safety features the study reviewed. But they remain your first line of defense in a crash and your first step toward safer driving.
