Seatbelt Safety

Every Journey. Every Time.

New data and research reinforces the dangers of not wearing a seatbelt

Wearing a seatbelt reduces the risk of death by around 50%.

The rate of seatbelt non-wearing fatalities for car occupants is highest for rear seat passengers (40%)

  • “Wearing a seatbelt is the single most effective way to protect yourself, and others in the car with you, from death and serious injury.”

    Edmund King, Director of the AA Charitable Trust

  • “This stark data highlights a preventable tragedy. Far too many young lives are being cut short simply because seatbelts aren’t being worn.”

    Lilian Greenwood, Future of Roads Minister
