Wear your seat belt

Seatbelts have been proven to save many lives in PDO operations,


particularly in rollovers. They keep you in your seat and within your
vehicle in the event of a crash.

If you choose not to wear a seatbelt then you are in serious danger of a
fatal injury if you crash. You will be thrown around in the vehicle or even
out of it through the windows.

To ensure compliance with this rule you should:


• Always wear your seat belt correctly when driving or as a
passenger in a vehicle.
• Never remove the seatbelt until the vehicle has come to a
complete stop.

If you are the person driving you should:


• Ensure that everyone in the vehicle wears their seatbelt before
starting to drive.
• Ensure that no one removes their seatbelt during the trip – stop if
they do.
