State Police will be out in force over the holiday weekend making sure you buckle up.
In addition to enforcing the primary offense seatbelt law which says cops can pull you over for not wearing a seatbelt and issue you an $85 fine state police will also work to enforce the C.A.R.E. initiative.
As part of Operation C.A.R.E. police will actively enforce seat belt laws, child safety laws, speed violations, and other motor vehicle offense.
State Police say they will also be on the lookout for drunk drivers.
“We want all Rhode Islanders and our out-of-state visitors to enjoy the long holiday weekend, but do so in a responsible manner,” said Colonel O’ Donnell of the State Police.
