The Alberta Traffic Safety focus for the month of October is on occupant restraints. The proper use of seatbelts and approved child seats significantly decrease the severity of injuries sustained as a result of motor vehicle collisions. Research and collision investigations indicate that seatbelts increase the chances of survival in a collision by 50 percent. According to Transport Canada, almost 40 percent of drivers and passengers killed in collisions were not buckled up at the time of the crash.
The awareness efforts on this important safety message is an on-going initiative, however during the month of October, motorists can expect to see even more enforcement and education surrounding the proper use of seatbelts. ‘There will be zero-tolerance when it comes to enforcement,’ says RCMP Traffic Services Cpl. Byron Wilkins. The Wood Buffalo RCMP and their law-enforcement partners will be out in full force this month, conducting numerous seatbelt blitzes at various strategic locations throughout the community. Drivers, and passengers alike, who are not wearing their seatbelt, will be issued provincial traffic violations carrying a penalty of $115.
The proper use of occupant restraints allows for other safety features, such as airbags, to be maximized. Airbags only function properly if the occupant is restrained in a proper position by a seatbelt. In the event of a collision seatbelts also keep occupants inside a vehicle’s engineered life space which can withstand the force of many impacts.
