The Crestview Police Department will be participating in the State of Florida “Click-it or Ticket” campaign starting March 1st, 2010, and continuing through March 15th, 2010. The campaign which specifically observes drivers and passengers of vehicles, who are not wearing seat belts, is intended to reduce injuries to drivers during motor vehicle accidents. This also includes the enforcement of child safety seats. During this campaign, drivers and passengers who are not wearing their seatbelts may be subject to being cited, and the penalties mandated by the State of Florida. Some of the requirements of the State of Florida are provided below. Summary of Mandatory Seat Belt Laws Seat belt laws apply to all cars, pickup trucks, and vans operated on Florida roads. All passengers in the front seat must wear a seat belt. All passengers under 18 must wear a seat belt Florida Child Restraint Requirements Children 3 and younger must be secured in a federally approved child-restraint seat. Children 4 through 5 must be secured by either a federally approved child restraint seat or safety belt. The Driver is responsible for buckling up the child. The areas of strictest enforcement are determined by crash data within the City of Crestview. The areas include Ferdon Boulevard at Redstone Avenue, Ferdon Boulevard at PJ Adams Parkway, Ferdon Boulevard and John King Road, and the intersection of Ferdon Boulevard (aka State Highway 85) and James Lee Boulevard (aka U.S. Highway 90).
