And as the child grows they grow with them too, learning a depth that they never knew; And soon they are older, their hair slightly gone, chasing two children around the front lawn.

Or car pooling teams to little league games, and buying them hamburgers after it rains; They mend broken dolls and fix broken wheels, they cringe when their daughter tries her first pair of heels.

Buckle Up in Your Truck is a special Louisiana enforcement wave that focuses on pickup truck occupants who are not wearing their seat belts. The fine for not wearing a seat belt in Louisiana is $50.00, and subsequent offenses carry a $75.00 fine plus court costs.

“Wearing your seat belt is absolutely the number one thing you can do to protect yourself from serious injury or death in a crash,” Freeman noted. “That’s especially true if you’re driving or riding in a pickup truck.”
