Day and Night.
Buckle Up. Click It or Ticket.

Click It or Ticket is a high visibility enforcement and public awareness campaign aimed at increasing seat belt use in our state. The only goal of this important highway safety initiative, which began in 2002, is to save lives by increasing the number of people who wear their seatbelts in compliance with Delaware law.

Click It or Ticket will run from May 5 ^th through May 31^st with high visibility enforcement occurring between May 12^th through the 26^th. The Office of Highway Safety will begin two weeks of statewide seat belt use surveys on June 1st to determine increases in belt use. Click It Or Ticket has been a success raising seat belt use in Delaware from 67% in 2001 to an all time high of 87% in 2007! Yet still,1 in 7 Delawareans regularly fails to buckle up.So we need your help. Remind your friends and loved ones about Delaware’s seat belt law.

The 2008 Click It or Ticket campaign will focus on several important areas of concern. 1) Night time seat belt enforcement. Seat belt use drops at night (by as much as 10%) even as your risk of being killed in a crash triples!! 2) Teens - they have among the lowest belt use in Delaware. We'll have several special initiatives in select Delaware high schools to increase seat belt use. 3) Low Belt use areas of the state - some areas in the City of Wilmington have much lower seat belt use than the rest of the state. So we're reaching out to businesses, high schools, churches, and city council members to help us promote the life saving benefits of seat belt use.

Again this year we'll also reward motorists for modeling positive behavior. Drivers and passengers "caught" wearing their seat belts by law enforcement will be given the opportunity to register to win one of five (5) pairs of tickets to the June 1st NASCAR race at Dover International Speedway.
