TxDOT Urges Teens to Buckle Up and Save a Life
‘Teen Click It or Ticket’ campaign visits Texas high schools with
interactive education events
AUSTIN, Texas–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Approximately 42% of teens killed in Texas traffic crashes in 2018 were
unrestrained in vehicles. To remind teens how the click of a seat belt
can save a life, the Texas Department of Transportation is taking its
annual “Teen Click It or Ticket” campaign on the road. The campaign will
visit several high schools across the state with interactive education
events convincing teens to buckle up.
“As teens start driving and gradually gain independence, some don’t
always make the best decisions regarding their safety. One of the safest
choices teens can make is to buckle up every time they are in a
vehicle,” said TxDOT Executive Director James Bass. “We urge teen
drivers and their passengers to make it a habit to always buckle up and
save a life.”
The “Teen Click It or Ticket” campaign will host interactive events at
six Texas high schools this spring. The events feature the use of
virtual reality game technology and an augmented reality experience to
share the campaign’s safety messaging in a highly engaging manner. The
experience also includes the display of a mangled truck involved in a
rollover crash. Thanks to using their seat belts, two Texas teens
survived the crash with only minor scratches. The campaign’s outreach to
Texas teens will be enhanced by TV, radio and digital advertising and
social media.
During 2018 in Texas, one in five vehicle crashes involved a teen
driver. Of the 262 teen drivers and passengers killed in vehicle crashes
that year, 111 were unrestrained.
Texas law requires drivers and all passengers to wear a seat belt.
Unbuckled drivers and passengers — even those in the back seat —
face fines and fees of up to $200.
Seat belts prevent drivers and passengers from being ejected from a
vehicle, which is almost always deadly. Wearing a seat belt reduces the
risk of dying in a crash by 45%. That number jumps to 60% for pickup
truck crashes.
The “Teen Click It or Ticket” campaign is a key component of #EndTheStreakTX,
a broader social media and word-of-mouth effort that encourages drivers
to make safer choices while behind the wheel. Since November 8, 2000, at
least one person has died on Texas roadways every single day.
#EndTheStreakTX asks all Texans to commit to driving safely to help end
the streak of daily deaths on our roadways.

Apollo Green to distribute Humboldt Seed Company clonal cannabis genetics to Germany, Portugal and Australia
SAN FRANCISCO, April 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Humboldt Seed Company (HSC), California’s leading cannabis seed producer, has announced a partnership with Canadian-based Apollo Green to make eight breeder cuts available to researchers, licensed commercial cultivators and home growers in legal markets worldwide. This first-to-market clonal genetics release is a significant milestone and will expand access to distinctive, high-quality cannabis genetics in both established and emerging global markets including Germany, Portugal and Australia.
The curated, breeder-verified selection includes pioneering triploid genetics, such as OG Triploid and Donutz Triploid alongside the legendary cult classic Blueberry Muffin. Also available are All Gas OG with a THC content of 21% and four high-THC strains in the 30-35% range: Golden Sands, Guzzlerz, Jelly Donutz and Orange Creampop. These selections represent the top .01% from HSC’s extensive California pheno-hunting program.
Exports will begin in May under Apollo Green’s Canadian federal cannabis license. All shipments have Canadian phytosanitary certification, ensuring plants have been inspected, and are clean and free of pests.
“Access for all to quality genetics has been our core focus since the beginning,” said HSC Co-founder and Chief Science Officer, Benjamin Lind. “Our science-based approach to breeding aligns perfectly with Apollo Green’s high standards and we are excited to be able to extend these hand-selected cuts to a wider audience, especially at this pivotal time where we’re seeing positive regulatory changes globally.”
Oisin Tierney, Apollo Green Director of Business Development, said, “California has long been recognized for setting industry standards, and we are proud to play a role in bringing these esteemed genetics to cultivators worldwide. The triploids are especially noteworthy in terms of the unprecedented potential for enhanced plant vigor, higher yields, shorter flowering times and superior returns for solventless extraction.”
