Buckle up! Seatbelt checkpoints in these NJ towns
🚨 New Jersey's annual “Click It or Ticket” campaign is underway
🚨 Fines for not wearing a seat belt can be as high as $46
🚨 134 towns in 18 NJ counties will have increased enforcement
With the annual “Click It or Ticket” enforcement campaign underway in New Jersey this week, all police departments will be keeping an eye out for drivers and passengers who are not wearing their seat belts. However, 134 municipalities have been awarded federal funding to further enhance compliance.
In addition to increased patrols, these towns may set up checkpoints for even greater scrutiny.
Towns in 18 New Jersey counties will share nearly $800,000 in funding, according to state Attorney General Matt Platkin.
Platkin says officers will accept "no excuses," and will be issuing tickets that can cost up to $46 for each offense.
Here is a county-by-county list of all towns that will be increasing their enforcement efforts.
Somerset County has the most towns participating with 18, followed by Gloucester with 16. Atlantic, Bergen and Hunterdon County all have at least 10 individual towns participating in the “Click It or Ticket” campaign, which runs through June 4.
