This holiday weekend, our officers focused on one simple goal: saving lives through seat belt safety.
During the Holiday Enforcement Period, CHP officers issued 2,172 seat belt citations to drivers and passengers who chose not to buckle up. While citations are never the goal, every stop was an opportunity to prevent a tragedy.
Seat belts remain one of the simplest and most effective ways to protect yourself and your loved ones on the road. No matter how short the trip is, buckle up every time.
Thank you to everyone who made safety a priority this holiday weekend. Let’s continue working together to keep California roads safe.
