Next Seat Belt Enforcement Campaign Set To Begin The Tigard Police Department will once again participate in the "Three Flags Safety Belt Campaign" beginning February 4th. The two week long blitz is a multi-jurisdictional approach to help ensure motorists respect, obey and understand the importance of using seat belts. Recent statistics indicated that Tigard motorists demonstrated nearly 96% compliance regarding vehicle safety belt usage for front seated occupants. The national average is just over 80%. The base fine for failure to wear a safety belt in a vehicle is $100.00. The base fine is the same for improperly wearing a safety belt, such as behind your back or under your arm. In the past 16 years of record keeping pertaining to seat belt usage in the State of Oregon, seat belt usage has grown from 43 percent noted in 1989, to the current statewide estimates of 93 percent. More importantly, that increased number of seat belt usage occurring during that same time span, also equates to reducing the motor vehicle collision mortality rate in Oregon by one-half. Seat belts save lives! The numbers don't lie. Always wear your seatbelt. Always wear it correctly. |
