The Bonneville County Sheriff’s Office is participating with area Law Enforcement agencies with extra patrols from May 21st through the Memorial Day Weekend to June 3rd on traffic enforcement looking for seat belt violations.  This time of year becomes very busy with travel and historically a time where crashes and fatalities increase.  It’s also the beginning of what many have known to be the 100 Deadliest Days of Summer across Idaho.

Many of these fatalities and major injury crashes could have been lessened or avoided by utilizing a seat belt.

Please take the time to put that seat belt on and take full advantage of the safety systems built into your vehicle.  Make sure your children are also properly secure in an appropriate child seat.  Always pay attention to your driving and avoid the distractions of electronic devices and NEVER drive when you have been drinking.
