Tighten your belt or pay the price!
Riding without a seatbelt is far from a ‘cheap’ thrill when you’re dealing with potential costs of life and safety – not to mention a $391 fine.
Whether you’re a driver or passenger you must by law wear your seatbelt in a vehicle.
If you don’t, you face a fine of $391 and three demerit points as a driver, or passenger aged 16 years or older.
Drivers can also be fined and lose points for every passenger in the vehicle who isn’t buckled up – that adds up to a huge cost and potential loss of licence.
The responsibility for making sure everyone in the car is wearing a seatbelt lies with the driver of the vehicle.
A seatbelt is vital for protection in a collision or accident, as it holds the occupant in place, preventing additional harm and keeping them in the right position for an airbag to deploy effectively.
