4. What’s The First Thing You Should do When You Get Into The Car?

Sit down, lock the doors, buckle up, adjust your mirrors, and put on some good music.

Based on a recent Facebook post of ours, this seems to be the series of events when drivers first get into a car.

Well, be sure to pay close attention to the BUCKLE UP step.

Arizona is cracking down on seatbelt use and you may get a ticket or fined for not having yours on.

As of 5/18 the “Click It or Ticket” campaign is officially in full force.

According to FOX10 Phoenix, “The enforcement campaign is based up on visibility traffic enforcement with a zero tolerance approach towards seat belt and child safety seat usage. Arizona has a secondary seat belt law that allows officers to only issue citations for violations during traffic stops for other violations.  However, Arizona’s child restraint law is a primary enforcement measure under which officers can stop vehicles because of suspected violations of that law.”
