Thanks to all those OMC members that came out to support this years National “Click It or Ticket It” campaign! We encourage all our members to wear their seatbelt and it always serves as a good example for our young Mustang family members too! Thanks also to Bob Moore Ford for providing the venue!

This was the annual National “Click It or Ticket” media kick off campaign event. Starting on May 18th, Law Enforcement around the country will be focusing on seat belt violations for two weeks. There will be no warnings! In 2014, were 244 Oklahomans lost their lives in crashes who were not wearing their seat belt. You can imagine the number throughout the country. Here in the metro area, the Metro Area Traffic Safety Council (MATSC) hosted this event to get the word out, promoting the use of seat belts. There is at least five other area traffic safety councils in Oklahoma. They are all connected to the Oklahoma Highway Safety Office. Our goal is to make Oklahoma roads safer. Chris Thomas is the chairman of MATSC and that happened through his job at Shawnee PD.
