With Memorial Day just over a week away, there will be plenty of people on the roads visiting friends, family and taking summer vacations. Newscenter 11 took to the streets to see what drivers think about the Click it or Ticket Campaign that takes place each year. During that time, authorities beef up their patrols and look for drivers who don't buckle up.

"For me personally I don't think it will change how. I drive I have two small children I'm responsible for so were always buckled up," said Wendy Turner.

"It might make people stop and take care and pay a little more attention especially since school is about to be out and there will be more kids on the road," said Melba Moulds.

The campaign runs through Monday the 19th and wrap up on June 1st.
