The importance of Click It or Ticket mobilization campaign to the safety of any person on the road\u00a0cannot be overemphasized. Whether your are driving or riding shotgun,\u00a0in the suburbs or along the highway, buckling up is one of best things you can do to safe your own life in the event of a crash.<\/span><\/p>\n

Alan and John were carpooling home from work\u00a0after the day\u2019s hectic schedule. John, who was in the passenger seat, buckled up his seat-belt and reminded Alan to do the same. Alan dismissed this \u00a0feeling fully in control behind the wheel and \u00a0cruising at a leisurely 15mph. <\/span><\/p>\n

The seconds ticked away, the houses and sidewalks drifted past, and the conversation flowed. As Alan approached an intersection, he continued to increase speed seeing that there was likely plenty of time before the light would change. Without warning, a car coming from the opposite direction, hung a left and Alan barely missed hitting the vehicle head on.\u00a0With a million \u201cwhat ifs\u201d running through his mind and after much admonition from John, Alan finally regained enough composure to buckle his seat-belt before driving out of the middle of the intersection. Alan is like many Americans; not irrational or unreasonable but not fully cognizant or caring\u00a0of the what is known as the most dangerous form of transportation in the nation. You can control your driving behaviors but not that of others which is why wearing a sear belt is so, so important.<\/span><\/p>\n

Following the success of this campaign, the initiative has since been adopted by thousands\u00a0of other cities across the nation, helping to save countless people from death and severe injuries car crashes.<\/span><\/p>\n

The campaign adopts the 3-pronged approach to sensitize and enlighten members of the public about the importance of using seat-belts while driving:<\/span><\/p>\n
