Click It or Ticket Teen Rally, Pharr TX, May 2010

Seat belts are the most effective feature available in vehicles today; but nearly 1 in 5 Americans still fail to regularly wear a seat belt when driving or riding in a motor vehicle. The effectiveness is indisputable. In 2007 alone, seat belts saved an estimated 15,147 lives. An additional 5,024 lives could have been saved if seat belts were worn at the time of the crashes. Click It or Ticket is a nationwide enforcement campaign designed to increase seat belt use and reduce highway fatalities by encouraging ALL motorists to buckle up- every time, day & night. In the state of Texas, Hidalgo county accounts for a high incidence of unbuckled teen deaths. To increase teen seat belt use, the TxDOT Pharr District brings you the Click It or Ticket Teen Rally in May 2010.

Where did you get the Seatbelt Rollover machine? That thing is awesome.

[TxDOTpio]

We agree--the rollover convincer is very cool! This one came from one of our Subgrantees, Texans in Motion.

@zerofatalities Just too bad there isn't a way you could ride in it (like a theme park ride).

Stupid. What about motorcycles, kiddies? No seat belt, therefore, you must ban them?
