Valentine’s Day

With Valentine’s Day upon us, there is no greater gift you can give your loved ones than the simple act of wearing your safety belt, and requiring your passengers to buckle up before beginning your trip.

Far too often Troopers and other law enforcement officers are called to the scene of a tragic crash, only to discover vehicle occupants were severely or fatally injured when such tragedies could possibly have been avoided if the victims would have simply taken the time to wear their safety belts.

This Valentine’s weekend, before you begin your travels to visit loved ones or go out on the town for a special evening, take a few seconds to buckle up. It could make the difference between life, death or a serious injury if you become involved in a traffic crash!
