Click It or Ticket continues all week to save lives Despite lower traffic, fatal crashes are three times higher nationwide at nighttime versus daytime... Kentuckians are reminded to buckle up and properly secure children in car seats or boosters during the annual Click It or Ticket campaign, which coincides with the Memorial Day holiday, running May 22 - June 4, 2023. The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet's (KYTC) Office of Highway Safety (KOHS) is joining law enforcement around the commonwealth and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in the annual federally-funded high-visibility seat belt enforcement effort. "Buckling up can make all the difference between recovering from injuries versus losing your life in the unfortunate event you're involved in a crash," said Gov. Andy Beshear. "I urge drivers to make the safe choice to wear a seatbelt and ensure child passengers are securely restrained every time they travel. Let's do everything we can to keep more of our families and loved ones safe while on the road." According to the KOHS, of the 744 roadway deaths last year in Kentucky, 512 were occupants of motor vehicles. Of those killed in motor vehicle crashes, 52% (268) were either not wearing a seat belt or were not properly restrained in a car seat or booster seat. Seven of the 512 were children ages 9 and under. One of the seven was improperly restrained. "Buckling up should be a natural reflex for drivers and passengers every time they enter a vehicle," said KYTC Secretary Jim Gray. "No matter the vehicle, time of day or distance, the best way to stay safe is to wear your seat belt - every trip, every time." According to NHTSA, despite the low traffic volume, fatal crashes are three times higher nationwide at nighttime versus daytime. Of the 512 occupants killed in motor vehicle crashes in Kentucky last year, 220 occurred at night. Of those, 126 were unrestrained. This story was posted on 2023-05-29 09:16:12
