Seat Belts - Do You Use Yours?
In the UK it is a legal requirement to wear a seat belt in a car.
Anyone over the age of 14 is responsible for strapping themselves in with the safety belt.
It is the driver of the car who is responsible for anyone under 14 years old and they must see to it that the under 14's wear their seat belts.
There are all sorts of other requirements like children using the correct seat for their weight until they reach 135 centimetres tall or their 12th birthday, whichever is first.
There are a few exceptions to the law on seat belts ie when reversing you don not need to wear a seat belt and you don't need to on possible health grounds.
The fine for not wearing a seat belt in the UK is up to £500.00 but has a minimum penalty of £100.00 if you don't go to court.
There are thousands of people that choose not to wear their seat belts and many are caught and dealt with.
Do you wear yours? If you do then why do you and if you don't why don't you?
