This is what Ontario's n
regulations are proving.
Since January 1, 1976, Ontario motorists have
been required to wear seat belts. And since that
date, Ontario speed limitshave been lowered to
60 miles per hour on freeways and 50 miles per
hour on other highways.
These new regulations are paying off. For the
first 6 months of 1976, there were 66 fewer deaths
on Ontario highways and 6,765 fewer injuries.
Police officials in major Ontario centres credit
the wearing of seat belts and the lower speeds
with these lower death and injury rates. And indeed,
improved safety is the prime reason for the
regulations. But there are other benefits, too.
When you drive slower, you save gasoline—and
lower your fuel costs.
