On Oct. 1, the use of seat belts becomes mandatory in British Columbia. New amendments to the Motor Vehicle Act are almed at reducing the number of serious injuries and fatalities. which occur on British Columbia high- ways each year by requiring motor vehicle occupants, aged 16 and over, to wear seat belts while driving or riding in a “ vehicle where seat belts are installed. . Youngsters, aged six to 15, must also buckle up. In their case, it is the responsibility of the vehicle driver to ensure that youngsters. are wearing _ properly adjusted and fastened belts, Superintendent of Motor Vehicles, Robert Whitlock, said mandatory seat belt legislation was adopted: because of the overwhelming decrease in traf- fic injury and. aay rates in Buckle Up on October 1 through research and study, it has been proven’ that manda- tory seat belt usage will reduce this load by at least 25 per cent. Most vehicles today are. equipped with seat belts, but through Jack of habit or lazi- ness, many people have ‘not developed the buckle up ToU- tine. The result: far too many people are seriously injured or needlessly killed on our high- ways each year, Whitlock said people are injured or killed by one or both of the two collisions involved in acrash,' . _ The first is the vehicle's collision; it hits something, buckles, bends and comes to a Pp. : The second collision, and often the most serious, occurs when an unrestrained body is left to collide with hard interior _surfaces of a vehicle, other wh seat belt usage ye ti already “in effect. “Seat belts have proven the simplest and most effective form of protection we now have. in the event of an automobile crash,” Whitlock said. “There is no getting away from it, in the + next.10 years of normal driving, almost everyone of us. will: ‘experience®.a. motor vehicle ~ accident of some kind,” he said.” In British Columbia alone last year, 630 people died in traffic accidents and thousands more were injured. - In fact, there are enough . motor vehicle accident: victims in this province each year to keep one 400-bed hospital per- manently full. ‘Whitlock said . : Sebections From the — Baka’t Whitings or is thrown: from the vehicle completély. The second collision, or the “human collision”, is usually | the collision which causes serious injury or death. Vehicle interiors and un- belted ‘bodies become lethal weapons when mixed with the ; forces : generated: from the ‘ vehicle's: crash: : Seat belts are designed to. absorb these forces and distrib- ute crash momentum over the areas of the body which are best suited to. absorb . these -- pressures. “Whitlock | said without a correctly-fastened “seat _ belt, :: vehicle occupants become vic- tims of their own collisions within the vehicle. This will be avoided, Whit- lock said, if ‘British Columbia motorists respect mandatory seat belt legislation and form . the buckle-up habit.
