Police belt campaign sees greater usage
![](/Content/LegalNews/images/article_db_image1.jpg)
Most motorists would rather ''click it'' than receive a $65 ticket, and they did just that during the annual Click It or Ticket seat belt enforcement effort which began May 23 and ended June 5.
Preliminary reports from police agencies indicate 9,013 seat belt and child seat violation tickets were written, nearly 500 less than during last year's enforcement effort.
Seat belt use in Michigan dipped to 95.2 percent in 2010 after the state enjoyed two years of a record-high use rate of nearly 98 percent.
Officers will again take to the streets working stepped up impaired driving patrols Aug. 19 - Sept. 5 as part of the Over the Limit. Under Arrest. drunk driving crackdown.
More than 200 police agencies statewide will work extra hours of enforcement during the heavily traveled Labor Day holiday period.
