This week marks Road Safety Week 

It's the penultimate day of Road Safety Week and wearing a seatbelt is the focus for the day. 

The Isle of Man Constabulary says it's one of the easiest things to do to protect yourself in a collision, yet officers still stop drivers and passengers who “forget” to put it on.

Anyone caught without one, or not having a child properly restrained in your vehicle, could face a £500 fine. 

Police add whether you’re the driver or a passenger, in the front or the back, a seatbelt could be the difference between a minor injury and a tragedy.
