Checkpoint Charlie
State police will be conducing a "Click it or Ticket" campaign through the end of the month focusing on the Saegertown and Cambridge Springs areas on State Routes 19, 86, 99 and 198. Police will set up traffic-safety checkpoints focusing on seat belt safety, reports GoErie.com. These are typically under-patrolled roads (at least in my experience), so you'll want to be vigilant in watching for these checkpoints.
My initial reaction is that this is a poor use of taxpayer resources and police time. I'd much rather see police busting meth heads, drunk drivers and child molesters. But as long as people continue to be ejected from cars and killed because they were too lazy or ignorant to buckle up, I guess these education campaigns will have to continue.
Here's what can happen when you don't wear a seatbelt:

They should also do random pipe bomb searches.
Good to know. Thanks! My route to/from work involves 19 to 86 and I can vouch for the fact that there's no speed patrol at the times I travel those roads. I'll take it easy the rest of the month!
