| LOUISIANA STATE POLICE COURTESY LOYALTY SERVICE Colonel Michael D. Edmonson, Superintendent TROOP C- NEWS RELEASE For Immediate Release Date: May 24, 2010 Troop C’s 2010 Click It or Ticket Campaign Gray- Louisiana State Police Troop C joins hundreds of law enforcement officials, highway safety representatives, and safety advocates nationwide who have vowed to support the high-visibility enforcement of the Click It or Ticket campaign. The Click It or Ticket campaign will run from May 24 to June 6, 2010. In 2008, 12,671 passenger vehicle occupants died in motor vehicle crashes nationwide between the nighttime hours of 6:00 p.m. and 5:59 a.m., according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Nighttime drivers and passengers continue to be among those least likely to wear seat belts. Consequently, they are among those most likely to die in motor vehicle crash. The high-visibility enforcement of the Click It or Ticket campaign is credited with increasing the national belt usage rate from 58 percent in 1994 to an observed usage rate of 84 percent in 2009. Troop C and surrounding law enforcement agencies are urging motorists to buckle up and encourage their loved ones to do the same. Remember, Louisiana law requires that everyone in the vehicle must be belted. Enhanced daytime and nighttime enforcement of seat belt laws will be performed during the Click It or Ticket campaign which runs from May 24 to June 6, 2010. Wear your seat belt. It may be the most important thing you plan for your future.
