Seatbelt emphasis in Pierce County will be going on from May 16th-24th. You may be laughing and think it’s unreasonable to conduct a seatbelt emphasis, but the message behind it is serious: wearing your seatbelt saves lives. Sure, we can joke about seatbelts all day long, but in real crashes, the consequences of not buckling up are anything but funny.
A seatbelt can:
- Save your life in a crash
- Prevent serious injuries
- Keep you from being ejected from the vehicle
- Help airbags protect you properly
- Protect your passengers and loved ones
- Turn a survivable crash into a walk-away moment
The truth is, crashes happen fast, and they can happen on a back road, a highway, or even just minutes from home. A seatbelt takes two seconds to put on, but it can make all the difference when the unexpected happens.
The goal:
Get everyone home safely. Because no ticket, text, or quick trip is worth risking your life.
