Good afternoon friends,
We all lead busy lives and are often in a rush, but putting on a seat belt is not something that can be skipped. You may be a good driver, but you can’t predict what other drivers may do. It only takes a split-second for a distracted driver to veer into your lane or a vehicle to pull out in front of you. Your chances of being severely injured or killed in a crash are significantly reduced if you make the life-saving choice to buckle up.
To increase awareness and save lives on our roadways, more than 300 agencies statewide will participate in a seat belt enforcement and education campaign in support of the Toward Zero Deaths traffic safety program.
The campaign that kicks off Sept. 18 and runs through Sept. 24 is coordinated by the Minnesota Department of Public Safety Office of Traffic Safety.
Seat belts must be worn correctly to protect you in case of a crash.
• Low and snug across the hips.
• Never tuck straps under an arm or behind the back.
Making the two-second choice to buckle up is a simple step you can take to keep yourself and your passengers safe on the road. Together, we can drive Minnesota toward zero deaths.
