The Illinois Department of Transportation along with the Illinois State Police and multiple law enforcement agencies across the state are joining the national “Border to Border” campaign by increasing seat belt patrols and enforcement zones through Memorial Day. 

IDOT Spokesperson Paul Wappell says it’s very simple: if you don’t want a ticket, wear a seatbelt. 

The movement which has been organized by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration will have over 10,000 agencies across America participating.

IDOT is asking everyone to buckle up, slow down, sober up, and put the phone down. Christian County Sheriff Bruce Kettelkamp says that they have seen way too much distracted driving lately.

Distracted driving can be more than just texting on your phone.

This Memorial Day, the Illinois State Police are asking everyone to “Click It Or Ticket.”
