About 20 percent of the teens who were pulled over as they arrived at school were not wearing seat belts. Police informed them of the state's new junior-operator laws and checked to see if they were wearing seat belts, talking on cell phones or committing other violations. "It's just informational today," Detective Sgt. Timothy Ballinger of the Kingston police said. "We wanted to give them the laws, and in the weeks to come we'll be stopping kids and we will cite people." Ballinger said he noted several seat-belt violations and gave lollipops and key chains to teens who were obeying the laws. That some teenage drivers do not realize the importance of seat-belt use is a major concern of Weymouth School Superintendent Mary Jo Livingstone. She said the Oct. 10 death of Weymouth High School student Catherine Crocker in a car accident brought the message to some students. "That's why I liked the idea that it was more as a positive reinforcement," Livingstone said, talking about Thursday's sting. She acknowledged that the operation made some students late for class and created traffic problems. Registrar Anne Collins of the state Registry of Motor Vehicles said one car pulled over at Weymouth High School contained four teens with "a cavalier attitude," a driver who had been licensed for less than six months and two passengers without seat belts. If police were enforcing the junior-operator laws on Thursday, the driver's license would have been suspended for 60 days and a fine would have been levied, Collins said. That's because in Massachusetts, drivers under 18 cannot drive with other teens in their car - siblings excluded - for the first six months after becoming licensed. "We put it in their face," Collins said. "Hopefully we had an impact, at least on that girl's choices." She said the Registry of Motor Vehicles, the state Department of Public Safety and local police departments collaborated on the Teen Safe Driver Week operation. Most teenagers interviewed said they thought the sting was a good idea, though many certainly looked edgy as they rolled down their car windows to speak with police. "I was kind of nervous," Silver Lake Regional High School senior Samantha Edwards said. "I didn't know what was going on. We didn't know if something was wrong with the school." She felt better when she found out that police were just there to inform people. Ryan Pittslui, a Silver Lake senior, thought police might be intending to search all of the cars for drugs. After finding out what the officers wanted, he said, "It's a good thing. It's keeping kids safe, and too many kids are dying these days." (Less)
