New research from Direct Line Car Insurance reveals the British public overwhelmingly support the introduction of penalty points for those found not to be wearing a seatbelt when driving, with 72 per cent backing a change to the law.
This research comes as Direct Line and The Parliamentary Advisory Council for Transport Safety (PACTS) launch a report calling for the introduction of harsher penalties, for those not found to be wearing a seat belt.
The report highlights the clear dangers of not wearing a seat belt as more than a quarter (27%) of those who died in cars on the road in 2017, the latest available data, were not wearing a seat belt.
To tell us more we were joined by David Davies - Executive Director at PACTS.
