Province-wide seat belt ­campaign this week

Record Staff – All police forces, in collaboration with the Société de l ‘assurance automobile du Québec (SAAQ), the Association of Quebec Police Directors (ADPQ) and Contrôle routier Québec (CRQ), will be carrying out several planned interventions across the province from March 29 to April 4, as part of 2019 National Seat Belt Operation.
The operation takes place under the theme “On the road, security clicks”, which hopes to remind people of the importance of buckling up and getting all the occupants of a vehicle to do the same. Research shows that the use of seatbelts is a major contributor to saving lives and helps to reduce the severity of injuries. If all occupants of a vehicle buckled up, we could avoid about 27 deaths and 70 serious injuries each year. See full story in the Monday, April 1 edition of The Record.
