"The facts are clear, seat belts save lives," said Pouliot. "Yet, every day people are dying in collisions on our roads because they are not buckling buckling up. And, too many are travelling without making sure children in their vehicles are properly secured in seat belts or child restraint seats. "Sadly enough, experience in other other jurisdictions indicates that it's not the risk of being killed, but rather the penalty of demerit points that convinces convinces hard-core, non-users to buckle up," says Pouliot. Beginning in 1994, two demerit points will be imposed on drivers who do not wear their seat belts or ensure passengers under the age of 16 are properly belted or restrained in a child safety seat. The demerit points are in addition to the current $90 fine for not wearing a seat belt. ' Demerit points are used to encourage encourage drivers to improve their driving performance. As drivers accumulate points a warning letter is sent and a counselling interview is required. When 15 points are accumulated, a 30-day license suspension is invoked. The accumulation of demerit points on a driving record is also reflected in higher insurance premiums. Passengers over the age of 16 are responsible for their own safety and if convicted of travelling without wearing a seat belt they will continue to receive a $90 fine.
