SEATBELTS
The traffic focus for March continues to be seatbelts.
About 20 tickets have been issued to date at a cost of $115 to each violator. Did you know that seatbelts increase your chances of surviving a crash by 50 per cent? According to Transport Canada, almost 40 per cent of people killed in collisions were not buckled up.
Last year, the only fatal collision near Stettler involved an unrestrained driver who was thrown out of his vehicle during a rollover.
“It takes seconds to buckle up - but a lifetime to make up for a loss.”
