Now through Memorial Day weekend, the Mattoon Police Department is stepping up enforcement to remind motorists to “Click It or Ticket.” According to Captain Brandon Saunders, “It’s not about citations – it’s about saving lives.” Wearing a seat belt can reduce the risk of fatal injury by 45%.” While Illinois currently has a nearly 95% seat belt use compliance rate, unbelted occupants still account for more than half of those killed in motor vehicle crashes.
