I think it is important to recognize cities and states that
are holding events to raise awareness for seat belt safety. Most states participate in the “Click it or
Ticket” seat belt enforcement that takes place May 18th – 31st, but
what else is being done? After much research, I’d like to spotlight a few
events that are taking place all over the US.
