The Wisconsin State Patrol is participating in the nationwide Click It or Ticket campaign for the rest of this month.
The effort is meant to remind drivers of the importance of using seat belts headed into Memorial Day and the summer travel season. The State Patrol will be conducting aerial traffic enforcement in various counties this week and patrols will be increased this weekend. Wisconsin DOT reports over 75-hundred crashes in the state last year involved motorists and passengers who were not wearing seat belts. Those wrecks resulted in nearly 150 deaths and close to 19-hundred injuries, according to transportation officials.
