Driving around without your seatbelt could cost you $30 dollars if you’re caught. Alabama State Troopers will be out in force this weekend enforcing traffic laws. Even though neglecting to buckle up may not seem like a big deal, troopers are taking it seriously. In 2010, 530 people were killed on Alabama highways.
“60% of those fatalities were not properly wearing seatbelts so it's very important we enforce those laws during this Click It or Ticket campaign,” says Trooper Greg Eubanks. I got to ride along with him today. It was a bit of a challenge finding someone without a seatbelt; it seems a lot of people are getting the message. Finding a speeder was a bit quicker. State Troopers want you to slow down and stay safe this weekend.
