From the Division of Highway Traffic Safety Acting Director: “Seat belts save thousands of lives every year, but far too many motorists are still not buckling up, especially at night when the risk of getting in a crash is even greater. We want to make this the safest summer possible. Buckling up is not optional; it’s the difference between life and death in a crash. That’s why we’re out here enforcing the law.”

An average of 150 motor vehicle drivers not wearing a seatbelt and passengers were killed in car crashes, each year in New Jersey.

Please put your seat belt on when getting in your car, it's so important. And, when someone gets in your car, remind them to put their seat belt on. Remember, Click it or Ticket.
