London, KY – The Kentucky State Police (KSP) are renewing calls for driver safety this week, reminding motorists that one small habit can make a major difference. Sgt. Mahala Lewis from KSP Post 11 in London shared a brief but powerful message: always buckle up, every trip, every time.
According to KSP, the reminder is part of the “High Five” highway safety initiative, designed to reduce crash injuries and fatalities by increasing seat belt compliance statewide. The campaign encourages Kentuckians to take a moment before driving to ensure every passenger is secured.
“Sometimes it’s the simplest actions that make the biggest difference,” KSP said in a recent social media post. The agency noted that consistent seat belt use remains one of the most effective ways to save lives on the road.
The reminder comes as state troopers continue enforcement and awareness efforts across Kentucky, especially ahead of the busy holiday travel season.
Drivers are urged to always fasten seat belts, no matter how short the trip — because, as Sgt. Lewis said, “one small click can save a life.”
