Those you would leave behind |

To the editor:
The Isanti County Toward Zero Deaths (TZD) Program would like to alert you of the upcoming “Click It or Ticket” seat belt enforcement effort.
From May 19-June 1 our area law enforcement officers will be on the lookout for those not wearing a seat belt. Most people in our State choose to wear a seat belt. As of August 2007, 88 percent of Minnesotans comply with the state’s seat belt law — a record high for the state, and an increase from 83 percent use rate recorded in 2006. But, for those choosing not to wear their seatbelt, law enforcement will be there ready to write a ticket. If you feel the choice is yours and don’t care about wearing your seat belt, at least think about those who care about you. Do you really want your loved ones getting a knock on the door from law enforcement notifying them that you died in a crash? Think about those you would leave behind and how they didn’t get a choice. As advocates of safe driving, we remind you to buckle up — everybody, every seat, every time. Seat belts save lives. Wear yours and stay safe. And remember, Click It or Ticket.
Yours in Traffic Safety,
Bob Bollenbeck
