Expect To See Heavy Law Enforcement Presence On Roadways This Weekend

The Taylorsville Police Department, in conjunction with the Alexander County Sheriff’s Office, are checking for unsafe drivers at the borders of the Town of Taylorsville during the Border 2 Border Campaign. Officers will continue these efforts during the Memorial Day Click It or Ticket Campaign.

Now through June 5, as part of the N.C. Governor Highway Safety Program’s Click It or Ticket campaign, law enforcement officers will be increasing patrols in all 100 counties to make sure everyone is buckling up, whether driving or riding.   
Violating state seatbelt laws can result in a fine of up to $180 or up to $266, if the offending passenger is younger than 16. 
 
Memorial Day also marks the start of the Hundred Deadliest Days, when fatal teen crashes increase dramatically.
