Seatbelt safety campaign over Easter weekend

Ontario Provincial Police say your seatbelt can only show up for you if you wear it.

Failure to wear a seatbelt caused or was a contributing factor in the deaths of 60 people involved in collisions on OPP-patrolled roads last year.

This Easter long weekend, police are conducting a seatbelt safety campaign.

Officers will be checking vehicles on the roads, ensuring drivers and passengers are wearing their seatbelts.

The fine for not wearing your seatbelt can range from $200 and $1,000, and drivers will also receive two demerit points.
