EMPHASIS: Click It Or Ticket Enforcement Project Results


A total of 21 citations and 20 warnings were issued in conjunction with a Click It or Ticket seat belt enforcement operation conducted in Shannon County on January 16, 2016. Also, there was one felony drug arrest and one arrest for a misdemeanor warrant. Totals from this enforcement effort include:

13 -- seat belt citations
1 -- speed citation
3 -- nonmoving violation citations
1 -- no driver’s license citation
3 -- uninsured motorists citations
1 -- misdemeanor warrant arrest
1 -- felony drug arrest

“Wearing your seat belt is the single easiest way to protect yourself if you are involved in a traffic crash," said Troop G Commander, Captain Mark G. Inman. "Please be the safest driver you can possibly be. Always pay attention to the task of driving, and please wear your seat belt at all times.”

Approximately 63 percent of Missouri fatal crash victims who are required to be restrained are NOT at the time of the traffic crash. The Patrol urges motorists to protect themselves and their passengers by making sure everyone in the vehicle is properly restrained in a seat belt or child restraint. Join us in supporting the Drive To Zero Highway Deaths. Watercraft operators should ensure that everyone in the vessel is wearing an approved life jacket. Click It 4 Life And Wear It!!
