Please buckle up for this Memorial Day week. Starting Monday, May 23, 2022. Currituck County Sheriff’s Office will be handing out citations to unbuckled motorists and passengers during the annual Memorial Day Click It or Ticket enforcement campaign, which runs until Sunday, June 5, 2022.
Wearing a seatbelt while in both the front and back seats of a moving vehicle is the law in Currituck and throughout North Carolina. We do this all year; however, the campaign runs statewide for this busy holiday traffic week.
In 2021, 555 unbuckled motorists were killed in crashes on North Carolina roads, including 28 during the Memorial Day Click It or Ticket enforcement campaign period.
Increased enforcement during specific campaign periods year-round is a key part of making North Carolina roads safer. 2021 marked the most traffic fatalities across the state since 1973.
For more information about the Memorial Day Click It or Ticket enforcement effort in, contact Lieutenant Smith by email, 265@currituckcountync.gov or call the Sheriff’s Office at 252-453-3633.
Thank you as always to our community for keeping our road safety partnership!
