“The message is simple,” Police Chief Ray O’Neal said, “Buckle up day and night. Seat belts save lives.”
O’Neal said state and local authorities will be conducting road checks and observing motorists during the national campaign, May 19 through June 1. They will be looking primarily for motorists not abiding by the Kentucky seat belt law. Wearing your seat belt is a primary law and police can pull you over for that reason alone.
During the campaign, officers will also be doing sobriety checkpoints and looking for other moving violations.
