For Immediate Release: Jul 11 2024
STATEWIDE, N.D. – Law enforcement agencies across the state participated in the Click It or Ticket enforcement campaign from May 1 to June 2, 2024 to help save lives on North Dakota roads.
A total of 4,296 citations were attributed to the overtime enforcement patrols. Of the total citations, 2,871 were citations for failure to wear a seat belt and 42 were child restraint citations. Tickets for speeding totaled 604. The traffic stops also resulted in 331 other traffic citations (i.e. disobeying traffic signals, equipment violations), 124 uninsured motorists, 145 suspended/revoked license violations, two drug arrests, 16 citations for distracted driving, 22 warrants served and six driving under the influence (DUI) arrests.
Preliminary data for 2023 shows that 48% of motor vehicle fatalities in North Dakota were not wearing their seat belt. Seat belts are the single most effective safety device to prevent death and injury in a motor vehicle crash.
High-visibility enforcement for traffic safety is one element of a collaborative effort to help meet the state’s goal of zero motor vehicle fatalities and serious injuries on North Dakota roads.
