Funding from the Oklahoma Highway Safety Office (OHSO) is providing for extra patrols and checkpoints, as well as overtime shifts. If a motorist is cited for not wearing their seat belt, they will have to pay $20, for each citation. Both drivers and passengers can be ticketed for not wearing their seat belt.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Violating Oklahoma\u2019s safety belt law is considered a primary law, which means that a law enforcement officer can stop and issue a citation to a driver solely for not wearing their seat belt. Under the law, all drivers and front seat passengers must have a properly fastened seat belt at all times while the motor vehicle is in motion. Passengers that are 12-years-old or younger must always wear a safety belt or be in a proper child seat, regardless of where they sit in the car. <\/p>\n<p>The goal of this campaign is to help prevent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mapleslawokc.com\/\">Oklahoma auto accident<\/a> injuries and fatalities by reminding Oklahomans to wear their seat belt every time they are in a vehicle. Making sure to wear a seat belt is the responsibility of every driver and passenger, but it is not always enough to prevent injury in a car crash.<\/p>\n<p>If you or a loved one has been injured in a car accident in Oklahoma caused by the careless or negligent actions of another driver, you may be entitled to financial compensation for your losses.
