CHARLOTTE, N.C. — If you're hitting the roads this holiday weekend, you'll see extra police out there.
The statewide "Click It or Ticket" campaign started Monday. Drivers will see more police patrols on city roads and highways.
Drivers can be fined $171 for not wearing a seat belt and also fined for not wearing it correctly.
