Stay Safe. Seat Belts Saves Lives. Buckle Up Every Day. Van Buren County Sheriff's Office is pleased to join the U.S. Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in urging drivers to buckle up ahead of the Click It or Ticket seat belt safety campaign. The national high-visibility seat belt enforcement effort, which coincides with the Memorial Day holiday, runs May 18-31, 2026.

Seat belt use should be an automatic habit for drivers and passengers alike. During the Click It or Ticket campaign, we'll be working with our fellow law enforcement officers to ensure the message gets out to drivers and passengers. Not buckling up could mean a ticket, or worse, risking a life.

In 2024, there were 9,758 unbuckled passenger vehicle occupants killed in traffic crashes. The national seat belt use rate in 2024 was 91.2%, which is good - but it can be better. The other 8.8% still need to be reminded that seat belts save lives. Participating law enforcement agencies will be taking a no-excuses approach to seat belt law enforcement, writing citations day and night.

One of the focuses of the Click It or Ticket seat belt campaign is nighttime enforcement. NHTSA data shows a higher number of unrestrained occupant fatalities happen at night (56% between the hours of 6pm. and 5:59am). Of the males killed in crashes in 2023, more than half (53%) were unrestrained. For females killed in crashes, 41% were not buckled up.

Buckle Up the Right Way

•Place the shoulder belt across the middle of the chest and away from the neck.
•Lay the lap belt across the hips and not the stomach.
•NEVER place the seat belt behind the back or under arms.

We are asking friends and family to remind each other to buckle up in the front and back seats and to consider changing their habits if they don't. Seat belts save lives, and everyone - front seat and back, child and adult - needs to remember to buckle up.

🚨 420 Safety Reminder 🚨

Ahead of April 20, the Van Buren County Sheriff's Office reminds everyone: If You Feel Different, You Drive Different.

From 2019–2021, a national study found that 26% of drivers seriously injured or killed in crashes had active THC in their system. Driving under the influence of any drug, legal or illegal is dangerous and illegal.

Ma*****na can slow reaction time, impair judgment, and make it harder to stay in your lane. All factors that lead to serious crashes.

✅ Plan ahead:
• Designate a sober driver
• Use a rideshare or taxi
• Speak up! Don’t let someone drive impaired

If you see an impaired driver, contact local law enforcement.

Let’s keep our roads safe. 🚔
