Nevada targeting people not wearing seat belts

The annual Nevada Click it or Ticket seat belt awareness and enforcement campaign is planned for May 18 through June 2.

During this two-week time frame, state troopers, sheriff’s deputies, and police officers from around the Silver State will be joining forces and placing a high priority on this vitally important traffic law.

Last year in Nevada there were 234 fatality crashes resulting in a total of 257 traffic-related deaths. The Nevada Highway Patrol investigated 92 of those tragic events where a total of 113 motorists were killed. Thirty-nine of those highway deaths involved drivers and passengers who were not wearing a seat belt.
