The local police in Orihuela have announced their intention to participate in a national campaign being launched by the DGT traffic department, aimed at ensuring the correct use of seatbelts and child restraints in cars.

The awareness campaign is set to run between the 9th and the 15th of September, with a focus on spot checks and increased monitoring during the period.

According to the DGT, 41% of people killed in traffic accidents on urban roads lose their lives as a result of not wearing a seatbelt. Wearing one reduces the risk of death by a half.

The law states that specific child restraining systems are compulsory for children whose height is less than 1.35 cm, those who are usually in the 12 years of age group, whereas 70% of children in cars are not properly protected, according to the date. The correct use of child restraints helps reduce the injuries from an accident by 75%. Incredibly, nine out of ten children in serious or fatal crashes were not using child restraints correctly.
