Alberta RCMP reminds you to wear your seatbelt at all times
Buckling up remains the simplest and most effective way to protect you and your passengers from injury in the event of a collision.
Alberta RCMP is encouraging you to practice the following traffic safety tips for optimal use of seatbelts:
· Ensure the seatbelt is positioned securely across the hip bones and the shoulder. The shoulder belt should sit across the centre of the chest, and never under your arm or behind your back. In a collision, this could cause fatal injuries.
· Most children are ready for standard seatbelts when they are between 8 and 12 years of age and are taller than 4’9” (145 cm). (Safe Roads)
