Hawaii DOT, police departments launch annual ‘Click it or Ticket’ campaign
HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) – The state Department of Transportation launched its annual “Click it or Ticket” campaign Monday in an effort to remind driver of the importance of wearing a seatbelt.
Police departments across the state are bolstering enforcement efforts as well.
“The great thing is Hawaii leads the nation in usage — with nearly 98% — but we dropped off from last year,” said Hawaii Department of Transportation Director Ed Sniffen.
“It’s a big thing. We also see right now that of in the last four years, of the people who died in their vehicles in Hawaii, half of them weren’t using their seatbelts.”
The cost of a ticket for not buckling up is $102 on Oahu, Maui and Hawaii, and $112 on Kauai.
