While I wear my seat belt every time I get into a vehicle, I know people who don't.  If you're one of those people, you may want to change your ways because there is now extra enforcement on the roads looking for people who haven't buckled up.  

The Minnesota Department of Public Safety has announced that there will be extra law enforcement, now through October 25, looking for people who are breaking the seat belt law.

While studies show that the majority of people are buckling up, there remains those who do not.  If you're a guy not wearing your seat belt, keep these stats in mind:

  • Fifty-four percent of men killed in the first six months of 2015 were unbelted, compared with 40 percent of women, according to preliminary figures.
  • Preliminary numbers show 48 percent of men seriously injured in a car crash from June through July were unbelted, compared with 26 percent of women.
  • Of the 183 men killed in 2014 car crashes, 89 were not buckled (49 percent).
  • Of the 95 women who died in 2014 car crashes, 33 were not belted (35 percent).

The bottom line is it's important to buckle up for safety, and I'm sure you could find better use for your money than paying to be a part of the Click It Or Ticket campaign.
