Seat Belt: a campaign to reinstate the reflex gesture!

The use of seat belts became mandatory for drivers and passengers, at the front in 1973 and at the rear in 1990. Attaching allows the body to be secured to the seat and prevents it from being thrown forward, onto the windshield or out of the vehicle.

Care should be taken with positioning: It should be placed on the top of the pelvis and placed on the shoulder blade.

In 2022, 24% people killed in a vehicle were not wearing seat belts. In view of this, and on the eve of summer holidays, Road Safety is launching a national information campaign to reinstate the reflex gesture to fasten his seat belt.

The Road Safety campaign, aimed at all audiences, is based on a court clip playing a song known to everyone (Stayin’ alive of the film "Saturday Night Fever").
