With Americans getting more and more aware of safety in vehicles as a problem, they are urging automakers and citizens to become safety-aware so that just like many, they don't turn into one of the many that are killed every year by traffic accidents. While some urge automaker's that cars are the issue of safety, others stand fairly correct that when a car comes off of a Indiana Chevrolet Dealer, or North Carolina Chevy Dealer lot, it is built to save the lives of the people within the vehicle. However, when most safety tools carefully installed within the tool are not put to use by the occupant within--there's usually not much that automaker's can do. This is where the "Click-it or Ticket" campaign has come in. This campaign has made driver's aware that not only do they face the possible meeting with death if they do not wear their seatbelt, but also a run-in with the police and a ticket or fine to pay for the negligence with their safety.
With this campaign now in full swing it has surely proven its worth. Seatbelt use is at a record high 84 percent nationwide, something that seems like quite an accomplishment for a government-launched program that are not usually said to always be so successful. While 45 million Americans won't buckle up, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) foundation plans to change this. The foundation has openly expressed their warning to the public again that--even more so now--they plan to start cracking down harder then ever before to make sure that our citizens today do not turn into any of the deceased citizens tomorrow due to traffic accidents. They plan on showing these warnings both through ads on television, radio, and on online.
