Law enforcement agencies are reminding folks to buckle up - and as of Monday, they're cracking down.
The "Click It or Ticket" campaign started Monday and law enforcement agencies across the state, including here in Northwest Arkansas will be enforcing it.
According to the U.S. Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, in 2010 nationally, 61 percent of the 10,647 passenger vehicle occupants who were killed in motor vehicle traffic crashes overnight (6 p.m. to 5:59 a.m.) were not wearing their seat belts at the time of the fatal crash, compared to 42 percent during the daytime hours.
Saturation patrols will continue through June 3rd.
