Click It Or Ticket Seatbelt Enforcement Underway In Central Bucks Town

NEW BRITAIN TOWNSHIP, PA — From now through Thanksgiving weekend, the New Britain Township Police Department will be enforcing seatbelt laws with a "Click-It-Or-Ticket" mobilization.

Officers will be on extra patrols, actively looking for drivers and passengers who are not wearing their seatbelts.

"If you plan to drive, wear your seatbelt. If you are driving with passengers, instruct them to wear their seatbelts. If you have infants, toddlers or young children in the car, you are responsible that they are secured in a properly installed and adjusted child safety seat," police said.

In Pennsylvania, all drivers and front-seat passengers must wear a seatbelt. Additionally, all occupants under age 18 must be buckled up, no matter where they are seated. Children under age 2 must be in a rear-facing car seat, while children ages 2 to 8 must be in an appropriate car seat or booster seat, depending on their height and weight, until they meet the conditions to use a standard seatbelt.
