UCFPD has an important message for drivers this Thanksgiving holiday: Click It or Ticket.
UCF Police will join agencies around the country in a Click It or Ticket wave that will go through Nov. 30. Millions of Americans take to the roads during Thanksgiving meaning a greater risk of accidents.
Officers will be cracking down on drivers not wearing a seatbelt. Violators will be subject to a $114 non-moving violation.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration estimates that wearing a seat belt reduces the risk of fatal injury to front seat passengers by 45 percent and the risk of moderate to serious injury by 50 percent. In 2012 seat belts saved the lives of 12,174 drivers and passengers, the NHTSA said.
