SEATBELT USE A SUCCESS Annual
province-wide campaign by police services comes to an end (ORILLIA) –
The Ontario Provincial Police checked more than 1.24 million vehicles during
the annual spring seatbelt initiative, which ended at midnight. Four people
died as a result of not wearing seatbelts during the province-wide campaign,
which began April 16. The OPP, which is
responsible for about 70 per cent of the province’s highways, laid
10,753 charges against drivers, 4,481 charges against passengers and charged
274 drivers for not having a probably installed child restraint. Last year, 117
people were killed on roads patrolled by the OPP as a result of not being
buckled up, a 14.7 per cent increase over 2006. So far in 2008, 27 people not
wearing seatbelts have died on OPP-patrolled roads, a 28.9 per cent decrease
over the same time last year, when 38 people had been killed as a result of
not being buckled up. “Ontario
has one of the highest compliance rates for seatbelt use of any jurisdiction
in North America,” OPP Commissioner Julian Fantino
said. “But there are still drivers out there who don’t seem to
get it. We had four people die during the campaign because they weren’t
buckled up. The few seconds it takes to buckle up could be the difference
between living and dying if you are involved in a serious collision.”
This Year County of Brant officers stopped 10,566 vehicles and laid 68 seatbelt
charges. In one incident,
OPP stopped a passenger van in which 12 of the 15 people in it weren’t
wearing seatbelts. The law calls for vehicles to have one seatbelt for each
passenger seat. The OPP was also
checking for improperly installed child restraints or young children who
weren’t in car seats at all. A properly used child seat reduces a
child’s risk of injury in a motor vehicle collision by as much as 75
per cent, yet as many as 80 per cent of child car seats are used incorrectly. Municipal police
services across the province were also involved in the seatbelt campaign.
