(KNOX) – Grand Forks Police will take part in a “Click it or Ticket” Enforcement Campaign, specifically for seatbelt violations.
Law enforcement will be working shifts from November First through December 12, with the primary goal to ensure motorists are using their safety belts while operating their vehicles within Grand Forks.
This program is funded by the ND DOT. Grand Forks Police want to remind the public that seatbelt violations are a primary reason to conduct a traffic stop. All passengers inside a vehicle must be wearing a seatbelt as well.
All front seat and back seat occupants must be buckled up regardless of age.
Children younger than eight years of age are required to ride in a child restraint, car seat or booster seat.
The Primary law allows law enforcement to stop and issue a seat belt citation to someone for not wearing a seat belt. Secondary law allows law enforcement to issue a seat belt citation when a driver is pulled over for a different infraction.
‘Click It Or Ticket’ campaign set to begin November 1
