A mother who lost her son in a road car accident in 2015 has joined West Midlands Police to help the force hammer home the potentially tragic consequences of not wearing a seat belt.
Sukhi Atwal will visit schools and speak to drivers and passengers as part of a week-long awareness campaign to highlight the dangers.
Her 12-year-old son Amar, died after suffering serious head injuries when he was thrown from a vehicle involved in a collision as he was not wearing a seat belt.
Mrs Atwal is now joining traffic officers and West Midlands Police Special Constable Clive Broadhurst - who campaigns on seatbelt safety at schools across the region, as part of an international seatbelt awareness campaign.
Officers from Central Motorway Police Group (CMPG) will be monitoring motorways and other routes - drivers who are pulled over for not wearing a seat belt will face a £100 fine.
Mrs Atwal, from Great Barr, said: "We will never get over the loss of Amar, wearing a seat belt could have saved his life or at the very least it would have given him a better chance of survival. We can never get Amar back - but I just hope by encouraging both young and old to try and be as safe as possible they won’t have to go through the heartbreak we have."
