Car Seatbelts
Scottish Seatbelt Law
For years it has been punishable by the law to not wear your seatbelt, but the Scottish government are calling for tougher penalties to be administered to motorists who are caught flouting the law.
At the moment, drivers caught are given a fixed penalty notice with a sixty pound fine, but it is being requested that those found in breach of the law be issued with three penalty points on their licence, which will in turn have an adverse affect when they come to renew their car insurance.
The government feel that people do not listen to the law properly, and it is found that not wearing a seatbelt is causing fatalities and injuries all over the country, regardless of the law.
The government is proposing that should drivers be caught without a seatbelt, they will face penalty points, as well as if they are caught with a child under fourteen in the car who is not wearing a belt. They are not legally responsible for other passengers of adult age not wearing a belt, and the penalty for an adult passenger not wearing the belt would still be a sixty pound fine, as per the current laws.
They are calling for this change in the severity of the act so that motorists stand up and take more responsibility for their actions, which are resulting in deaths and major injuries across the country.
If you are currently caught without a seatbelt, a fine is issued and so it makes no impact on your Car Insurance Quotes and costs.
