‘Click it or ticket’

MANCHESTER —  As motorists take to the roads this Memorial Day holiday, Vermont law enforcement are urging everyone to buckle up.   Beginning May 22, 2017, law enforcement officials will be out in full force, taking part in the 2017 National Click It or Ticket (CIOT) seat belt enforcement mobilization and cracking down on motorists who are not belted

“As we kick-off the busy summer driving season, it is critical that everyone buckles up every time they go out, day and night – no excuses,” said Sgt. Allen A Fortin (Northern CIOT Task Force Leader). “Our officers are prepared to ticket anyone who is not wearing their seat belt, including drivers that have neglected to properly buckle their children. – Click It or Ticket.”

At 4:00 p.m. on May 22^th, Vermont law enforcement will join law enforcement agencies across the Eastern United States in mobilizing the Click It or Ticket (CIOT) “Border to Border” Operation.  Law enforcement agencies will join forces to provide increased seat belt enforcement at State borders, sending a zero tolerance message to the public:   driving or riding unbuckled will result in a ticket, no matter what State.
