IDAHO, The Idaho Transportation Department is partnering with the Idaho State Police and other law enforcement agencies across Idaho to make highways safer by funding high visibility seat belt patrols February 7th - February 20th, 2012.

During this campaign, District 4 Idaho State Police troopers will increase enforcement of speed limits and traffic laws & cite those drivers / occupants who are unbelted.

"Those occupants wearing a seatbelt during a speed-related crash increase their chance of survival greatly," says Lt. Haight.

In 2009, almost 60% of those killed in an aggressive driving crash were not wearing their seat belt.
