Starting Monday, the Colorado Department of Transportation, the Colorado State Patrol and 29 local law enforcement agencies throughout the state will begin a two-week Click It or Ticket seat-belt enforcement period. The heightened seat belt enforcement campaign will run through Nov. 29.
An average of an additional 70 lives could be saved each year if Colorado achieved a 100% seat-belt use rate, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
Fines for not buckling up in Colorado start at $65, and parents or caregivers caught with an improperly restrained child can receive a minimum fine of $82.
