With the Thanksgiving Weekend upon us, the City of Middletown Police Department intends to promote safe driving and increase the protection of all motorists by participating in the Connecticut Law Enforcement “Click It or Ticket, Day & Night” wave taking place from 11/25/19 through 12/02/19.
Middletown Police Officers will be out on Middletown’s roads enforcing the State Occupant Protection Laws and issuing citations to those who are unbuckled.
The Thanksgiving holiday is one of the busiest travel times of the year, which means more vehicles will be on the roads. Increased vehicle activity leads to the potential for more crashes and more fatalities.
Failing to buckle up puts you and other vehicle passengers in a potentially deadly situation. It's also against the law - plain and simple. There is never an excuse to not wear your seat belt.
A citation for failure to wear your seatbelt is a $92.00 fine.
