As part of the statewide Click It or Ticket Program, Whitpain Township, along with 87 other municipalities in Southeastern PA, is participating in a seat belt enforcement effort which will last until June 5th.

From the Ambler Patch:

Municipal police departments from Bucks, Chester, Delaware and Montgomery counties will focus on roadways with a high number of unbelted crashes, injuries and deaths through enforcement and public awareness activities, PennDOT says.

 

Tickets of up to $75 are possible for violators.

 

“The enforcement, coupled with educational outreach efforts, aims to increase seat-belt use and raise awareness of the state’s primary law stating all vehicle occupants under 18 years old must wear a seat belt. Drivers and front-seat passengers over 18 years old who are cited for another traffic violation will receive a second ticket if they’re unbuckled,” PennDOT said.
