Holiday weekends are notoriously dangerous travel times for drivers, and Memorial Day weekend was no exception. What is most important to remember as we head into summer and more people traveling our Kansas and Missouri roadways is to buckle up. Wear your seat belt! Click it or ticket! We all know the slogans by heart, but we also sometimes do not wear our seat belts.
Wearing your seat belt is the single most important safety feature provided in your vehicle that can save your life. At Kansas City Accident Injury Attorneys, we see the tragic results of not wearing seat belts and want to encourage all of our Kansas and Missouri drivers to please buckle up.
