And Southington Police say, “The annual Click it or Ticket mobilization may be over, but that is no excuse to stop using your seat belt. Law enforcement officers are out all year long. If you or your passengers are caught not wearing a seat belt at any time, day or night, you will be cited for the safety violation.”
Buckle it up and stay safe!
