Provincial Traffic Safety Campaign will focus on seatbelt compliance this coming long weekend.
All drivers and passengers must be properly restrained in a vehicle, regardless of how short the trip may be.
Young children must be properly restrained in a child car seat and seatbelt use for passengers under the age of 16 is the responsibility of the driver.
The fine for not wearing a seatbelt is $240 and two demerit points.
Although seatbelt use is the focus of the campaign, officers will be highly visible across the Quinte area and paying specific attention to the “The Big 4” which, in terms of personal injury collision causation are impaired driving, distracted driving, aggressive driving and lack of occupant restraint.
