Among those least likely to buckle up are young males, pickup truck drivers and their passengers, people who live in rural areas and night-time drivers. According to NHTSA, 31,683 passenger vehicle occupants died in traffic crashes during 2004 - and 55 percent of those killed were not wearing their safety belts at the time of the crash. Safety belt checkpoints and other stepped-up law enforcement activities will be conducted in the national “Click It or Ticket” enforcement mobilization, which runs May 22 through June 4.
