CAP) 824-3345 Community Against Pushers buckle under to $53 fine By Dave Chmara This coming month of October, all police forces in Ontario have been given a direc- tive from the Director of Transportation, Regulation Development Branch, to more strictly enforce the seat belt law. In an effort to increase seat - belt use, and to inform the pub- lic, the News will be printing weekly stories during the month of October concerning injuries, myths, the law, child safety seats, and proper seat belt use. Ontario, the first province to enact a seat belt law, now falls behind all other provinces in seat belt usage. In 1988, according to a Transport Canada annual survey, 70 per cent of Ontarians regularly used their seat belts. This falls short of the 76 per cent national average and ranks Ontario eighth among all other provinces in usage. People can learn about seat belt use from family, police, driv- er education programs, their car Owner's manual, the Driver's Handbook, Ministry of Transportation materials and, when involved in an accident, *many Icarn from experience. Through the correct use of seat belts, research has shown the the risk of serious injury or death to a front seat occupant is reduced by 40 to 50 per cent. If seat belt use in Ontario was to increase by 10 per cent, there is the potential to save 80 lives and prevent 1,320 serious injuries Birth AnnodjnGement Cheryl Lee and Dave Cooper would like to announce the arrival of David Scott Gregory Born on Saturday, September 16 Weighing 5 Ibs. 12 ozs.

This would translate into a sig- nificant saving in societal costs iivolved in caring for the victims and their families. On average, hospital costs are doubled for the non-seat belt wearer compared to an accident victim who was buckled up. In Ontario, statistics show that, in 1987, an unbelted driver involved in an accident was 21 times more likely to be killed and eight times more likely. to be hos- pitalized than a driver who wore his seat belt. Motor vehicle crashes on and off the job are the leading cause of disabling injuries or accidental deaths in the 15 to 44 age group - socicty's prime working years. Out of every 1,000 employees, about nine will be injured every year as vehicle occupants and, on average cach employce will miss 16 days of working time during the ycar. Some people choose not to wear seat belts for a wide variety of reasons: inconvenience, cating, looks, clothing, discomfort, mvod, or because others are not wearing their belts. Others do not fully understand the benefits of seat belts. Driving is mainly routine and many trips arc made when there is no obvi- ous need for protection, such as in town. Some people believe crashes arc cither-so scrious noth- ing could help, or so minor, pre- cautions are pointless. However, seat belts may mean the difference betwcen scrious and minimal injury and allow the vehicle occupant to walk away from the accident site. Clean water!
