Buckle - Up! Over the next two weeks and every week!

Over the next two weeks, Florida Highway Patrol (FHP) will be stepping up their "Click it or Ticket" campaign in an effort to get increased compliance with Florida's seat belt law.

This period of increased focus on seat belt use starts today. Sadly, it begins on the day after a tragic car accident in Marion County which killed a 21-year old Micanopy woman and injured two others, one critically.   The early Sunday morning accident occurred when the deceased lost control of her vehicle and was ejected out of it after it flipped several times. She was not wearing a seat belt.

As an experienced local accident attorney that has often written about the importance of seat belt use, I praise the FHP for stepping up their crack down on seat belt offenders from now until March 15.  I suggest that we all take this time and this tragic loss of life to be reminded to make sure that we buckle up every time we start our vehicle, and that everyone else is properly restrained as well.  

Not doing so could cost you more than the $104 ticket.  It has been proven - seat belt use saves lives.
