Saved by the Belt

Skipping seat belts isn't a flex - it's a deadly risk. Teens an young adults ages 15-20 make up 9% of the Texas population, yet they were involved in 19% of all motor vehicle crashes in 2024. Tragically 132 of the young people killed in those crashes weren't wearing a seat belt.

The simple choice to buckle up - or not - can be the difference between a bright future or a young life cut short. TxDOT’s teen-focused Click It or Ticket campaign is urging teens to buckle up, every seat, every ride.

Seat belts save lives, but only if you wear them. If you're not buckled up, you could be ejected from the vehicle or even thrown into other passengers. When you buckle up, you protect yourself and your fellow passengers from serious injury or death.

Remember, Texas law requires all drivers and passengers to wear seat belts. Unbuckled drivers and passengers — even those in the back seat — face fines and court costs of up to $200.
