[http://www.wpxi.com/news/17091401/detail.html](http://www.wpxi.com/news/17091401/detail.html) PITTSBURGH – Penn-Dot is funding a new effort to enforce seatbelt use along McKnight Road and across the state. The department has invested nearly $500,000 to fund 425 police departments that will allow them to put out extra patrols over the two-week crackdown. The seatbelt checks will occur between 9 p.m. and 5 a.m. A Penn-Dot spokesman said that more people than ever are buckling up but there is a higher number of crashes at night where the driver is not wearing a seatbelt. Penn-Dot’s statistics show the majority of the more than 400 people who were killed last year in nighttime crashes were not wearing a seatbelt. Pennsylvania’s seatbelt laws are secondary, which means that a driver can be ticketed only when cited for another traffic violation. ---

Since we’re probably in a recession (possibly heading for a depression) depending on who you ask, this is a good way for government employees to make more money, and screw over the private sector even more. ---

Of course… Drunk people don’t drive as much during the daytime. $$ wise it’s killing two birds with one stone. ---

Conversely, true alcoholics can be in a significant wreck during the day, but since they live under the influence their symptoms aren’t that blatant, and the cops aren’t looking for it, so they walk. PennDOT is horrible. I’m not sure that anyone has anything good to say about them. ---

From 9am-5pm? Happy Hour 5-7 and who do you know that actually leaves at 7pm? It was meant more of a sarcastic response than anything else. Stating they would be (statistically) more effective at stopping DUIs from 9pm-5am than during the hours of 9am-5pm or similar, so why not double a seatbelt checkpoint as a DUI check point. ---
