Erie Auto Accident Lawyers Pa Starts Seat Belt Campaign

November 18, 2010

November 19, 2010, ERIE, PA — You may know someone who doesn’t wear a seatbelt. Now, there’s another good reason to remind them to buckle up. Pennsylvania is launching a seatbelt campaign that will extend through the holiday and people who don’t buckle up may be facing traffic tickets and sanctions.

Seat belt use is the one thing you can do that most tilts the odds of survival in an Erie car accident to your favor. Between now and December 3, it’s also the one thing you can do to avoid extra penalties if you’re pulled over for a traffic citation.

Also, through the new year, police will be conducting sobriety checkpoints and roving patrols. So, be careful, drive safe and wear your seat belt!
