STATE AND LOCAL POLICE ARE KICKING OFF THE “CLICK IT OR TICKET” CAMPAIGN FOR THE MEMORIAL DAY HOLIDAY. 

THE PUBLIC CAN EXPECT TO SEE BEEFED UP PATROLS LOOKING FOR THOSE NOT WEARING A SEATBELT, AS WELL AS DRUNK DRIVERS SAYS ILLINOIS DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION SPOKESPERSON PAUL WAPPEL.

ACCORDING TO I-DOT, HEAVY TRAFFIC DURING MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND ALMOST ALWAYS LEADS TO AN INCREASE IN FATALITIES. LAST YEAR IN ILLINOIS, THERE WERE 14 CRASHES OVER THE HOLIDAY PERIOD, RESULTING IN 15 DEATHS.
