Special 100 days of summer traffic program

Summer is here and we're in the middle of the annual H.E.A.T program, that is, Highway Enforcement of Aggressive Traffic.

All summer long, police and highway patrol are on the lookout for speeders, those driving under the influence, and unbuckled drivers and passengers. Georgia drivers are among the highest illegal speeders in the country, and frankly, your law enforcement officers are tired of investigating accidents that could have been avoided by motorists just using a little more caution and common sense. "Throughout the year, speed, drunk driving and unbuckled motorists and passengers are the top three causes of fatal crashes in Georgia," said Director Blackwood. "But the summer represents a crucial time period because kids are out of school and more families hit the road for vacation. And unfortunately, Georgia experiences an average of one speed-related death per day."

New booster seat law for children 6-8

New for this year, police are enforcing the state's booster seat law that was passed this spring. The new law requires children to be restrained in a child passenger safety restraint device until they are eight years old. "While some exemptions do exist, this law exists to protect our precious cargo at a time when far too many 6-to-8-year-olds are visiting the emergency room from crash injuries sustained while improperly restrained," said Director Blackwood.
