HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Brussels Post, 1976-02-04, Page 5Ontario has a new
"Seat Belt Law:'
This is what you should
know about it.
Last year, 1,304 people were killed in
automobile accidents in Ontario. Another
-98,673 were injured. -
Many of those deaths and injuries could
have been 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 law is simple:
• You must wear a seat belt and shoulder
harness if both are available,
• 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 of the
system in back seats—And need not be
installed.
• It is notillegal to carry more passengers
than there are seat belts.
• The driver is responsible for all children
aged 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
drop-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 are
precious, and accidents which cause 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 on you must wear a seat belt.
Your Ontario governmeiit asks for -your
co-operation.

In the' 1975 4-H Club
programme 379 members took
477 projects forming 29 clubs in
Huron County. The average age
of the club members was 14.4
years, slightly, lower than the
previous year. In 1975 93% of the
club members completed their
projects which is the highest
percentage completion ever
achieved by members in the
County.
After a brief discussion, it was
decided to continue with the Pre
4-H Programme in Huron County.
This programme which has been
a pilot project of the Association
since 1971, allows 11 year old club
members in to the 4-H activities.
As most of • the county and
