The Governor’s Traffic Safety Bureau is urging Iowans to buckle their seat belts ahead of a national seat belt campaign next week. May 22nd through June 4th is the National Traffic Safety Administration’s ‘Click it or Ticket’ campaign, and officials are warning that the perception of people wearing seat belts is higher than the total. In 2022, 55% of traffic fatalities were people that were unbelted. in 2023 so far, that number is around 60%. The Bureau is urging that everyone, whether they are a child or adult or in the front seat or back, buckle up. Hundreds of lives have reportedly been lost in the last few years because people were not wearing seatbelts.
