Spring Seat

Belt Campaign

The provincial Seat Belt Campaign has begun. The provincial initiative runs through April 30.

The annual campaign is to raise awareness of the importance of wearing seat belts as well as proper use of child restraints in vehicles.

The legislation, passed December of 2006, "One Person, One Seat Belt" requires every occupant in a motor vehicle to be buckled up properly while occupying a seat where a seat belt is available.

All drivers and passengers 16 years of age and older are responsible for ensuring they are properly belted in a motor vehicle. Drivers are responsible to ensure all passengers under the age of 16 travelling in their motor vehicle are properly restrained either by a seat belt or child car seat according to Highway Traffic Act specifications.

The penalty for failing to do so, is a set fine of $85 plus surcharge fees totalling $110. Two demerit points are set against your licence upon conviction of this charge.
