NHP targeting drivers and passengers not wearing seatbelts

Nevada law enforcement agencies are "Joining Forces" from May 16 through June 1, looking for drivers and their passengers who are not buckled up while on the road.

They will also be checking to ensure children are properly in car or booster seat(s).

Troopers, deputies, and officers will be stopping drivers for different traffic offenses and issuing citations for seatbelt violations throughout Northern Nevada.

According to NHP, law enforcement within the State of Nevada continue to see senseless deaths and injuries sustained from car crashes that can be avoided by simply wearing your seatbelt. In Saturday's fatal rollover accident near Walker Lake, just one of the five occupants in the car was wearing their seatbelt.

It takes just two seconds to buckle up, not much time to save your life if you were in a motor vehicle accident.

So, please buckle up every time!
