Roads police issue seatbelt warning

Thu, 29 Jun 2017

The roads police are cracking down on motorists who don't wear seatbelts while driving on the Island's roads.

The Isle of Man Roads Policing Unit says it's seen a high increase in the number of people ignoring the seatbelt law in recent weeks.

Officers warn those caught not buckling up without a legal exemption will be fined.

Not wearing a seatbelt is one of the 'fatal four' - the top causes of fatal car crashes - along with speeding, using a mobile phone while driving and drink or drug driving.
