IAM: Don't forget to buckle up
The Institute of Advanced Motorists (IAM) has warned people out on the roads over February to make sure they and their passengers put on a seatbelt, pointing out that one in five of those killed in car accidents were not wearing seatbelts.
Furthermore, research showed 19 per cent of people admit to not wearing a seatbelt in the back seat of a car, while nine per cent of passengers concede they do not wear a belt when sitting in the front.
Some 26 per cent of drivers with between three and six years of driving experience admit to not using a seatbelt.
IAM director of policy Neil Greig said people should belt up wherever they are sitting in a vehicle.
"We are asking drivers and passengers to make sure everyone is buckled up this Valentine's Day, especially the young men. There's no greater passion killer than a car crash," he added.
Government data suggests 300 people's lives would have been saved in 2007 if they had been wearing seatbelts.
