Lake Zurich police and the Illinois Department of Transportation’s Click it or Ticket campaign in May resulted in 248 seat belt citations and two child safety seat violations as well as 10 drunk driving arrests.
Lake Zurich police and IDOT conducted the campaign from May 10 to May 27, Memorial Day weekend. The goal was to remind drivers to buck up and save more lives, according to a police release. The campaign was held on the local, county and state level.
In Lake Zurich, police made other arrests during the traffic stops. There were four drug arrests, one reckless driving arrest and two fugitive arrests, police said.
Additionally, Lake Zurich issued 13 suspended/revoked licenses
11 uninsured motorists and 32 speeding citations, police said.
The annual Click It or Ticket mobilization may be over in Lake Zurich, but that is no excuse to stop using your seat belt, Sgt. Tracey D. Goodyear said.
“Our officers are out all year long. If you or your passengers are caught not wearing a seat belt, day or night, you will be cited for the safety violation,” Goodyear said.
