Seat belt usage drops at night

At this time every year, police and sheriff’s departments across Georgia increase their enforcement of seat belt usage. The so-called “Click It or Ticket” campaign is around the clock. However, the enforcement steps up at night.

The University of Georgia says 93% of drivers in the state wear seat belts behind the wheel.

“However, we know that number goes down at night,” said Georgia Governor’s office of Highway Safety director Harris Blackwood.
