Garland Police Department Press Release:

Click It or Ticket Results

The recent Click It or Ticket campaign that was aimed toward 16- to 20-year-old drivers showed that most Garland teens are buckling-up.
 
Garland Police completed the week-long, stepped-up enforcement Sunday. Police not only stopped drivers not wearing seat belts but some who were buckled-up. Those not buckled-up got a ticket; those who were received a thank you for obeying the law and were given a key chain furnished by the State of Texas.
 

Citation results for Garland 358 – No Seat Belt 14 – No Child Restraints 32 – Ages 16-20 No Seat Belt 12 – Speeding 8 – Ran Red Light 218 – Other Violations 22 – Arrests

 
The Click It or Ticket campaign is a statewide law enforcement effort seeking compliance with the law that everyone riding in a vehicle wear seat belts. Statistics continue to show injuries are less severe, and deaths less likely, when properly belted in during a car crash. The City of Garland continues to have one of the highest compliance rates for wearing seat belts in Texas.

Thank you for BUCKLING-UP

 
Note that the teen drivers had far fewer seat belt violations that the larger population! Who's example should we follow? Way to go Garland Teens!
