Lucky draws were Police Step Up Enforcement of Seat Belt Laws Until End of April During the period April 18th to 30th, 1993, the Durham Regional Police Police Service will again be focussing on Seat Belt Compliance within the Region. Although approximately 83% of Ontarians are complying with our Seat Belt Laws, Police are concerned about the number of heedless Motor Vehicle Accident Injuries, that result from not buckling up. The key components of the Seat Belt Campaign, are primarily Education Education and secondly, enforcement. Did you know... Unbelted drivers are fifteen times more likely to be killed and five times more likely to be hospitalized than belted drivers? Seat belt use is lower among male drivers (81.5%) than female drivers (90%). Younger drivers are less likely to be buckled up than drivers over the age of 50 years? Buckling up not only saves lives, but can also save a Fine of $90.00 or higher, to a maximum of $500.00? The proper and consistent use of Seat Belts and Child restraints in Motor Motor Vehicles definitely saves lives. For any further information contact contact S/Sgt. Sandy Ryric at Ext. 346. won by Charlie Stapleton, Bernice Wells, Jim Redman, Loma Swain, Ross McRoberts as well as several other special draws. ; A family shower was held on Sunday Sunday in the beautifully decorated Rec Centre when members of the Grove and.
