A WARNING has gone out to motorists in Sedgemoor after new figures revealed one in four cars contain at least one person still failing to wear a seatbelt.
The statistics, from Somerset Road Safety, come as part of Avon and Somerset Police's Operation Relentless, aiming to keep people safe on the roads.
Local police have joined a week-long Europe-wide road safety campaign, which began yesterday (March 11).
Mobile patrols will be on the lookout for law breakers and sending out the message that seatbelts should be worn at all times.
Police and Somerset Road Safety are holding seminars for those caught not wearing a seatbelt at police roadside checks.

If the Police can't spot them, as obvious as it is when everyone else can, how the hell are they going to spot, or even bother to stop someone sat in the back of a car with no belt ? Laughable !
