Seat Belt Enforcement to Ramp up Across MI
- Delaware is conducting a statewide seat belt safety initiative with increased patrols from May 19 through June 8 to encourage buckle-up compliance ahead of the busy Memorial Day travel period.
- Delaware’s highway safety agency is spearheading this effort, working alongside state and local law enforcement to decrease the number of fatalities involving individuals not wearing seat belts.
- The campaign includes high-visibility patrols day and night targeting seat belt violations, while officials emphasize that improper use renders safety systems less effective.
- In Delaware, seat belt use has hovered around 92% with unbelted occupants accounting for 58% of 2024 traffic fatalities, and young drivers under 20 make up 18% of crashes.
- Officials stress that buckling up every trip saves lives and improves safety, with Delaware aiming to increase compliance through education and enforcement efforts.
