You’ll probably see more people being pulled over by local law officers in Anderson County in the next couple weeks. The Annual Click It or Ticket Campaign will step up seat belt enforcement on Anderson County streets and highways in the days approaching the Memorial Day Holiday, in a move to improve safety during the summer holiday season kick-off. Anderson County Sheriff, Vern Valentine, says the State’s Annual Click It Or Ticket Campaign would be a combined effort of Garnett Police Officers and County Deputies.
The drivers of vehicles have far more influence on their passengers’ seatbelt use than they might think. Valentine points out that if you put your seat belt on, your front seat passenger will likely do the same, 98% of the time.
The Campaign period runs from Friday through May 31. Travelers can expect increased police presence on city and county roads with emphasis on seat belt enforcement, as officers join some 180 other law enforcement agencies in the state in the annual campaign.
