North Franklin Township Police Department will hold a seat-belt enforcement activity as part of a statewide seat-belt enforcement mobilization at 2:30 p.m. today at Trinity High School.
The enforcement, coupled with educational outreach efforts, aims to increase teen seat-belt use and raise awareness of the state’s law that all vehicle occupants under 18 years old must wear a seat belt. Drivers and front-seat passengers over 18 years old who are cited for another traffic violation will receive a second ticket if they’re unbuckled.
In 2012, 43 people who were not wearing seat belts were killed in accidents in Fayette, Greene, Washington and Westmoreland counties.
