Today starts in Jumilla special campaign on seat belts and child restraint systems that launches the Traffic Department and will be held in the city by the local police.
Started this morning and will last until September 13.
The objective that the DGT is proposed such campaigns is to have no child lose his life not be properly seated into a suitable seat for their weight and height.
Surveillance and enforcement with respect to the use of seat and restraint systems has become one of the most effective ways to maintain and increase the rate of seat belt use among vehicle occupants.
Aware that the circulation in town is the first scenario where the driver initiates the acquisition of habits and customs, and in this case, failure is significantly higher than in urban roads is considered vital participation municipalities this season, so the Jumilla has acceded.
Although it has increased the use of seat belts, there are still serious gaps.
This is hardly understandable if we consider the relationship between ease of use and effectiveness, as it reduces by half the risk of death in a crash.
In 2014 23% of deceased users of cars and vans on intercity roads were not using a seat belt in urban areas and this percentage rises to 30%.
With regard to the seriously injured on interurban roads not using seat belts and 9% on urban roads 17%.
