Unbelted occupants continue to be a leading cause of both serious injury and fatalities, on Kentucky roads
LONDON, KY - Laurel County Sheriff John Root is reporting that the Laurel County Sheriff's office is participating in the statewide "Click it or Ticket" campaign that begins on November 16th and runs through Thanksgiving weekend concluding on November 29th.
This effort is conducted as the Thanksgiving Holiday approaches. During this period, officers statewide including Laurel County Sheriff's deputies participate in this endeavor in an attempt to help save lives, and prevent serious injuries in traffic crashes.
Unbelted occupants continue to be a leading cause of both serious injury and fatalities, on Kentucky roads.
Deputies also will be concentrating on:
- Child safety seat violation
- Speeding
- Distracted driving
- Impaired drivers
Although this huge law enforcement presence could be intimidating, the Click It or Ticket campaign is not about writing tickets, it's about:
- Increased awareness
- High visibility
- Saving lives
Our goal is to help keep Laurel County families safe, and to make Laurel County roads safer during the holidays, and everyday.
Anyone can be involved in a crash at any time. So please, always buckle up, and always make sure your friends and family do the same.
