The Idaho State Police is partnering with the Idaho Transportation Department’s Office of Highway Safety and law enforcement agencies across Idaho to remind drivers to buckle up.
Now through June 2nd, ISP troopers will participate in a statewide effort to enforce seat belt laws and educate Idahoans on the importance of drivers and passengers to buckle up. According to Office of Highway Safety survey data, 87% of Idahoans decide to wear a seat belt, which is easy and increases the odds of surviving a crash by 50%. Unfortunately, in 2022, 66% of the passenger motor vehicle occupants killed in crashes were not wearing a seat belt.
The statewide effort coincides with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s Click It or Ticket campaign, with law enforcement officers nationwide participating.
