- Bradley County Sheriff Jim Ruth remind motorist to be safe as campaign Lifesaver continues.

Thirteen fatalities have been reported this year on Bradley County roads

BCSO’s traffic unit monitored seat belt compliance at Bradley Central High School and Walker Valley High School this week. Those observed unbuckled were reminded they are required to wear a seat belt any time the vehicle is in motion, according to officials.

State law sets the fine for the initial conviction at $10 but that doubles to $20 for the second and each subsequent violation. In addition, court costs may be involved. Seat belt violations are a primary offense which allows law enforcement to stop a vehicle upon observing a violation.

Sheriff Ruth instructed deputies to write citations when necessary.

One aspect of the campaign is getting everyone to buckle up, “because seat belts save lives.”

Motorists are also reminded to watch their speed in school zones during times of the day when students are either arriving for class or leaving in the afternoon to return home.

“We are serious about saving lives. Our goal is to increase awareness in the motoring public that violations of traffic laws, such as speeding, reckless driving, aggressive driving or not wearing a seat belt, are factors that can result in the loss of life. We want everyone to think about safety when they get behind the wheel,” said Ruth.
