No Seat Belts in 7 Out of 8 Louisiana Traffic Fatalities in 2012
In a recent checkpoint in Calcasieu Parish, state police screened 2,083 vehicles for seat belt use. Troopers and deputies issued motorists a total of 65 citations, including 17 for no seat belt, five for improper or no child restraint, 25 for an expired motor vehicle inspection, one for no motor vehicle inspection, two for an expired license plate, eight for illegal window tint, two for no driver’s license in possession, four for driving under suspension, and one insurance violation.
