slide16The statewide program Click It or Ticket campaign held May 21st through June 3rd was a big success locally, according to CHP Public Information Officer Craig Harmon. Harmon said the Amador Unit of CHP ticketed 58 people for seat belt violations. Seat belts were not the only thing Officers were looking for as others received tickets for not having front license plates, tinted windows, and other traffic violations. “While we are out primarily looking for seat belt volitions and child restraints violations we are also looking to make contacts for any safety violations and to remind motorist on the stops about the hazards of drinking and driving and not wearing seat belts,” said Harmon. He also added that seat belts save lives and stated, “Over memorial day weekend 22 Californians lost their lives on the our Highways and 11 of them were not wearing seat belts, so that’s 50%.”  The State has not yet released the all of the results for CHP units statewide.
