ST. PAUL, Minn. – Slow down, buckle up and put the distractions away. That’s the message from law enforcement as we begin what are typically the 100 deadliest days on the road.
Extra law officers are out on the roads this Memorial Day looking for unsafe driving behaviors – including motorists not wearing seat belts.
Mike Hanson, director of the Office of Traffic Safety, says they don’t want this to be, “your memorial day,” or for you to make, “someone else’s memorial day,” so they’re asking everyone to slow down, buckle up, and put the distractions away.
Preliminary numbers show 108 unbelted motorists died on Minnesota roads in 2021 – up three from 2020.
