During the Thanksgiving holiday, about 10,000 law enforcement agencies nationwide will be out on the roads to remind drivers and passengers to buckle their seatbelts.
Thanksgiving weekend, millions of Americans will hit the roads, eager to spend time with family and friends. Itβs one of the busiest travel times of the year, and unfortunately, that may mean more crashes.
During the Thanksgiving holiday weekend in 2020 (6 p.m. on Wednesday, November 25, to 5:59 a.m. on Monday, November 30), there were 333 passenger vehicle occupants killed in traffic crashes across the nation. More than half (52%) were unrestrained. (Information taken from NHTSA.GOV)
The St. Charles Parish Sheriffβs Office will be partnering with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration for the βππ₯π’ππ€ ππ π¨π« ππ’ππ€ππβ campaign which will span from November 19 β 26, 2022.
Remember: If you are caught driving while unbuckled, you will get a ticketβno excuses, no warnings. Wearing your seat belt is required by law.
