The Thanksgiving holiday is one of the busiest travel times of the year. Millions of Americans hit the roads to spend time with family and friends. Unfortunately, more vehicles on the road means the potential for more dangerous roads, and it’s as important as ever that everyone is buckled up. To make sure the message reaches all area drivers and passengers, the DeFuniak Springs Police Department will be joining other state and local law enforcement agencies to participate in the United States Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) high-visibility seat belt enforcement campaign Click It or Ticket. The no-excuses, zero-tolerance crackdown combines powerful messages about seat belt safety, with increased patrols day and night, targeting all unbuckled motorists—those who still aren’t getting the point.


“The statistics are really troubling,” said City Marshal, Chief Mark A. Weeks. “Almost half of the passenger vehicle occupants killed in crashes are not wearing their seat belts. And during this busy time on our roads, we see way too many preventable fatalities in crashes.” During the 2013 Thanksgiving holiday period (6 p.m. on Wednesday, November 27, to 5:59 a.m. on Monday, December 2), there were 301 passenger vehicle occupants killed in motor vehicle traffic crashes nationwide. Fifty-eight percent of those killed were NOT wearing seat belts.
