Pick-up Drivers: Be Safe and Buckle up!
The tragic pick-up truck wreck last week of an Interlachen resident, follows kick off of a national "Click it or Tick it" campaign set to run during May 2009. National ads will increase awareness of seatbelt use as the single most effective, life-saving device for motorists and their passengers.
A recent U.S. Department of Transportation study projects that if safety belt use rose to 90%, then approximately 1,652 lives could be saved annually and an additional 22,372 serious traffic related injuries could be avoided on the nation's roadways each year.
In 2008, the national average seat belt use rate was estimated at 83%, meaning that one out of every five Americans fails to buckle up.
As an experienced accident lawyer covering Putnam County, to me, Holland's death also emphasizes the deadly risks involved with rural driving, especially after dark, and the often fatal habits of pick-up drivers in failing to buckle up.
