Morgan City police join 'Click It or Ticket It' Campaign
Morgan City Police Department will be participating in the Louisiana Highway Safety Commission “Click It or Ticket It Campaign”, set to begin on May 24, 2021, and through June 6, 2021.
Louisiana law states that all drivers and passengers, regardless of which seat they occupy in a vehicle, must wear a seat belt or be properly restrained in a child safety seat that is properly installed.
Besides being the law in Louisiana, wearing your seat belt is the single most important thing a driver or passenger can do to protect themselves in the event of a crash.
In 2019, observational surveys showed that 87.5 percent of all Louisiana drivers and passengers were wearing their seat belts. While this record usage rate is good news for Louisiana, there is much work to be done in moving toward 100 percent compliance.
Police enourage drivers to drive safely and buckle up.
