Stepped up seatbelt enforcement begins today on Minnesota roads.
The Office of Traffic Safety says 38 unbelted motorists have died already this year in Minnesota, an increase of 13 from the same time last year. Speed has also been a concern, prompting a statewide speed enforcement campaign already this spring.
Overall traffic deaths increased by 40 compared to the same time last year.
The extra seatbelt emphasis runs through Memorial Day weekend until June 6th.
