Belt Up
Even if you're just going around the corner. Most accidents occur within 10 km of the victim's home. No trip's too short.
Statistics show that if you are not wearing a seat belt, you'll suffer worse injuries in the event of an impact, no matter where you sit.
The Law & Belts
It is illegal for a driver and passengers not to wear seat belts. It's up to drivers to insist their passengers put on their seat belts. Both the driver and their passengers can be fined and, in some States, lose demerit points.
There are also special restraint laws for children, you can read all about these here.
