    Motorists should be prepared to receive a reminder
    from local law enforcement that using seat belts in Ohio is the
    law. The 2012 national Click It or Ticket seat belt
    enforcement mobilization continues through June 15.



    According to the Ohio Department of Public Safety, 62 percent of
    Cuyahoga County motor vehicle occupants who were killed in motor
    vehicle traffic crashes in 2011 were not wearing their seat belts
    at the time of the crash. 



    �Despite all of the education, ads and reminders, too many
    drivers and passengers on the road are still not wearing their seat
    belts, and it all too often ends in tragedy if there's a crash,�
    said Gregory M. Loftus, chief of rangers. �Our goal is to save more
    lives by educating the public through this important campaign.�



    The Cuyahoga County Speed, Reckless & Aggressive Driving/DUI
    Reduction Task Force and Cleveland Metroparks Rangers are joining
    other state and local law enforcement officers and highway safety
    advocates across the country to help save more lives by strongly
    enforcing seat belt laws.  Participating departments will
    dedicate traffic patrols three hours per day to enforcing all of
    Ohio's traffic laws, but most importantly ticketing those violating
    Ohio's seat belt, booster seat and child restraint laws.  



    Seat belt use saves thousands of lives across America each year.
     Cleveland Metroparks Rangers remind everyone to buckle
    up!
