"Seat Belt Law:''
This is what you should
know about it.
Cast year, 1,304 people were killed in
automobile accidents in Ontario, Another
98,673 were injured.
Many ofthOse deaths and injuries could
havdbeen avoided, had:the persons
involved been wearing seat belts.
That is why, effective January 1, 1976, the
use of seat belts-became mandatory.
In practice, the laNk is simple:
• You must wear -'a seatJdelt and khoulder
harness if both are wiallable,
• If your car was manufactured after
January 1,'1971, it is illegal to remove the
seat belts and they must be in good
working order. If seat belts have been
removed, they must be replaced.
• Seat belts that are not working must be
repaired. •
• The shoulder harness is not'part-gf-the'
system in baCk seats—and need not be
installed, •
• it 'is not illegal to carry more passengers
than there are seat belts.
• The driver is responsible for all children
a,ged 2 to 15.
All adult passengers; 16 and over are
responsible for themselves.
There are exceptions:
(1) Children under two years of age,
(2) Persons with a medical exemption
certificate from their doctor.
(3) Delivery personnel driving in their
Trop-off zone at 25 mph or under.
(4) Rural mail delivery personnel' •
(5) Convertibles do not require shoulder
harness. .'
The fine for breaking the law is from $20 to
$100, plus costs. But life and health pre,
precious,,and accidents which caute..death
or,injury to people, or damage-to property,.
cost far more than the fine. . •
Whether you are a driver or a passenger,.
from now op you must wear,,a seat belt.

But the health people were
wrong about the depth of

would stir up. We've had more

illustrates how irresponsible-and
