"Click It' campaign to encourage seat belt use

Police across Missouri will be paying special attention to whether motorists are using seat belts during the next two weeks.

The annual "Click It or Ticket" effort runs through June 5.

Seat belt violations are a secondary offense in Missouri, meaning tickets can only be issued if a driver is pulled over for some other violation. But police plan a more high-visibility enforcement effort during the annual campaign.

The state also plans to post messages about fatalities and seat belt citations on portable message boards.
