This Summer, and especially during WI DOT “Click It or Ticket” campaign May 23 – June 5, Chenequa Police Officers will keep a sharp eye out for unbuckled motorists – not to simply write tickets, but to prevent needless tragedies. In Wisconsin, you can be stopped and cited for not wearing a seat belt. Drivers can also be cited for every unbuckled passenger in their vehicle. Be safe and be smart. Buckle up. Every trip, every time.
