ASP urges everyone to "Click It or Ticket" this Memorial Day

The Memorial Day holiday weekend is less than two weeks away.

Whether you’re headed to the lake or just across town, the Arkansas State Police Highway Safety Office urges you to buckle up.

Beginning Monday, May 20, state, county and city law enforcement officers will be cracking down on motorists who are not using seat belts as part of the national “Click It or Ticket” campaign.

Colonel Stan Witt, director of the ASP and Governor’s Highway Safety representative, urges everyone to “buckle up on every trip, every time, both day and night—no excuses.”
