'Click It or
Ticket' campaign asking for #SafetySelfie photos
The Governor's Highway Safety
Program has launched its Memorial Day "Click It or
Ticket" campaign and asking people to share pictures
on social media of themselves buckled up, using the
hashtag #SafetySelfie.
With your vehicle in a parked position, activate
your cell phone camera and take a picture showing
your seat belt buckled securely. Then, share the
photo with your friends, family and co-workers via
Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and Pinterest with the
hashtag, "#SafetySelfie." The GHSP also encourages
you to add comments urging others to follow your
example and fasten their seat belts before putting
the vehicle in drive.
"This is about saving lives and spreading the word
that seat belts should be second nature every time
you step into a car," said Cris Mulder, deputy
secretary for communication at the N.C. Department
of Transportation. "That's a safety message that
starts early and can't be repeated enough. The
#SafetySelfie is a fun and engaging way to get
everyone involved in driving the message home
through social media, a method we know will make an
impact." This is
the 20th year of the "Click It or Ticket" campaign
in North Carolina. The Memorial Day campaign will
end June 2.
