Rob Jackson - Driver Training - Kirkby In Ashfield

It’s been in the news recently that a member of parliament has been seen not wearing a seatbelt.

It is 1 of the Fatal4

Did you know.

It is the responsibility of the driver to make sure anyone under 14 years of age are wearing their seatbelts...once 14 years old it is up to the passenger to take responsibility!

You can be fined up to £500 if you don’t wear a seat belt when you’re supposed to.

What value would you put on a serious injury or being killed ?

You must wear a seat belt if one is fitted in the seat you’re using. You’re also only allowed 1 person in each seat fitted with a seat belt.

Seatbelt wearing saves over 2,000 lives every year. Everyone knows they should wear a seat belt in the front seat, but many people still don’t realise how dangerous it is not to wear a seat belt in the back.

In a crash at 30mph, if you are unrestrained, you will hit the front seat, and anyone in it, with a force of between 30 and 60 times your own body weight. This could result in death or serious injury to you and people sitting in front of you.

When passengers are not restrained by a seat belt, three forms of collision occur. The first collision involves the vehicle and another object, the second occurs between the individuals in the vehicle and the vehicles interior, while the third collision occurs when the body’s internal organs hit against the individuals’ skeletal structure or chest wall.

Don’t risk it, always wear your seatbelt.
