Seat Belt Crackdown Begins

Georgia's seat belt crackdown recently began.  Georgia Police Agencies  began their annual Click It or Ticket Campaign with road checks trhough June 6th.  Those who aren't wearing seatbelts will be ticketed and subject to a $15.00 fine for the first offense.  A $25 fine will be assessed for child passengers who are improperly restrained.  This campaign leads up to a new state law scheduled to take effect in July which will require the use of seat belts in pickup trucks.  These vehicles were previously exempt from the seat belt laws.  Trucks still used for farming will remain exempt under the new law.
