Seatbelt emphasis slated
for coming weeks
By KEVAN MOORE
Motorists can expect to see an increased law en-
forcement presence patrolling city and county road-
ways in search of unbuckled or improperly buckled
drwers and passengers between May 23 and June 5.
The Shelton Police Department, the Mason County
Sheriffs Office and
the Washington

Safety Task Force. infraction."
"Law enforce-
ment officers would rather have motorists buckle up
than write a seat bolt infraction," said Lowell Porter,
Director of the Washington Traffic Safety Commis-
sion. "The evidence is clear that seat bolts save lives.
By increasing seat belt use, Washington continues to
reduce the costs incurred by those who don't buckle
up."
The cost of a ticket for not wearing a seatbolt, the
best defense in saving a driver and passenger's life, is
$124.
Statistical analysis shows that wearing a seat belt
decreases the chance of dying or being seriously in-
jured in a collision by about 70 percent, compared to
an unbuckled motorist. Medical costs from vehicle col-
lisions amount to more than $276 million each year in
this state and vast sums of money have been saved by
getting motorists to buckle up.
