Today marks the kick of f of a “Click it or ticket” seat belt enforcement program. During the crackdown, Florida law enforcement officials will be setting up seat belt enforcement checkpoints and ticketing drivers and passengers who aren’t buckled up. Obviously, seat belts save lives and everyone should be encouraged to wear them. Every day we see people killed in accidents who are not buckled up. This is especially true for young children whose lives are in the hands of adults who should do everything they can to protect them. But some argue that seat belt usage–like other risky activities–is a matter of choice and you should not be penalized for not wearing them. What do you think? Should law enforcement ticket people who are not wearing their seat belt?
