The Eugene Police Department will be out with the safety seat belt effort, Click It or Ticket, May 20-June 2, 2024
Eugene, OR – Per reports, the Eugene Police Department officials released the following statement:
“Please buckle up! We have seen a lot of speeding and that raises the danger level on our roadways. EPD’s Traffic Safety Team is working to address this.
While modern cars contain a lot of advanced occupant protection features, including air bags and crush zones. For those features to work effectively, correct seat belt and child safety seat usage is a must.
And it’s not just about your personal safety – unrestrained vehicle occupants can injure others in the vehicle in the event of a crash.
Proper use of occupant restraint systems is one of the best ways to maximize the chances of you and your family walking away from a crash.
This is a grant-funded enforcement with Oregon Department of Transportation
Participating law enforcement agencies will be taking a no-excuses approach to seat belt law enforcement, writing citations day and night. In Eugene, the presumptive fine for a seat belt violation is $150.”
