Throughout NJ, police enforcement will start the 2008 Click It or Ticket program on May 19th. The campaign includes various seatbelt check points and other patrols to check for New Jersey seatbelt compliance.

NJ law enforcement was given about $4,000 in grants to conduct the operation.

Last year during New Jersey’s “Click It or Ticket” campaign, 58,170 citations were issued to individuals who were not properly restrained. The number of summonses was up from 2006, when 56,360 seatbelt citations were issued.

If you receive an NJ seatbelt ticket the fine should be about $46.00. Recently, Governor Corzine agreed to sign into law a new NJ seatbelt rule that would require seatbelts on rear seat passengers also.
