Tampa Car Accident Attorneys

The Florida Highway Patrol is partnering with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration for the national 2016 “Click It or Ticket” campaign, which runs from May 23 through June 5. Law enforcement is promoting seat belt use as a method of preventing unnecessary serious bodily injuries and death.

Under Florida law, vehicle drivers, front-seat passengers, and all children under the age of 18 are required to wear a seatbelt while traveling in a motor vehicle. However, more than 43% of the people killed in car crashes in 2015 were not wearing their seatbelts. It has been proven that seat belt use is the most effective way to reduce fatalities in motor vehicle accidents.
