Howard County Police Crack Down on Seat Belt Laws

Officers are aggressively enforcing the "click it or ticket" rule this month.


Throughout May and into early June, Maryland law enforcement officers will be aggressively enforcing Maryland’s seat belt laws, according to Sherry Llewellyn, a spokesperson for the Howard County Police Department. 

The effort is part of the Maryland Highway Safety Office’s “Click it or Ticket” campaign.

In Maryland, drivers who are caught not wearing their seat belt receive a $25 ticket for their first offense, according to the Governors Highway Safety Association.
