SACRAMENTO — With millions of Americans expected to hit the roads for the Thanksgiving holiday, the California Highway Patrol is launching a statewide enforcement effort, reminding drivers that a simple click of a seat belt is their first line of defense.

During this time, all available officers will be on patrol, with a heightened focus on traffic laws, impaired driving, and—critically—seat belt compliance.
