Current event week 3

We've all seen the annoying "Click it or ticket" commercials on TV; and while the cheesy rhyme seems to be another cliched PSA, the Deparment of public safety is showing the number of car related fatalities dropping 30% this year in Mississippi. Still being considered a new and not very experienced driver, my parents still remind me to buckle my seatbelt before even turning the car on. My parents aren't just fearing a hefty fine from a ticket, but also for my life if I were to be in an accident. And if my parent's voices in my head when I get in a car aren't there nagging me, I hear the infamous line "click it or ticket!" So, while many consider these commercials to be tacky and not effective, statistics have shown the decrease in vehicular accident fatalities, and I myself show how the campaign helps the people of Mississippi remember to take the safety precaution, or pay the consequence.
