Not too many seatbelt violations yet

August 10, 2009 By WRN Contributor

Apparently there hasn’t been a rash of tickets issued in Wisconsin for not being buckled up, although traffic safety officials are hoping Wisconsin’s new primary enforcement seat belt law will get more people to “click it.” Lieutenant David Pabst of the State Patrol says compliance in Wisconsin has been running around 74 percent, well below the national average.”I think we’ll get up to the (national average of) 83 percent,” says Pabst. ” People are going to realize that they can get stopped merely for not wearing a seatbelt. You can save your life just by clicking.” The law took effect July 1st, but Pabst doesn’t think a rash of tickets have been handed out so far.
