The goal of the Click It or Ticket
Mobilization is not to give out tickets, but rather to influence
people to buckle up and prevent injuries and fatalities. Research
proves that the certainty of a ticket and costly fines convinces
people to Click It. As the #1 leading cause of death and disability
for Americans between the ages of 4 and 34, motor vehicle crashes
are a serious public health problem. The average cost for a
critically injured survivor of a motor vehicle crash is estimated at
$1.1 million over a lifetime. This figure does not even begin to
reflect the physical and psychological suffering of the victims and
their families. A simple, free, cost-effective means to prevent
injury and fatalities to you and your family is making sure everyone
buckles up, every trip, every time. It is imperative that effective
steps be taken to encourage people to buckle up and buckle up their
children.
The Click It or Ticket Mobilization plays
a critical role in the effort to keep people safe on our roads and
highways. Illinois is a proud proponent of saving lives by
encouraging motorists to buckle up!
