Unbelted, or improperly belted, occupants in a car are five times more likely to be ejected in a crash than those who are belted; and the odds of surviving ejection are estimated at one in four. While most Oregonians get the message that seat belts save lives, many still use the wrong restraints for child passengers. During Oregon's "Click It or Ticket" campaign, Sept. 7 - 20, extra law enforcement personnel will be working to ensure child passengers are buckled in right.
