In 2019, 31 Victorians were killed not wearing a seatbelt, and in the 2018/2019 financial year, 13,000 Victorians were fined for not wearing a seatbelt.
It has been estimated that wearing a properly adjusted seat belt reduces the risk of a fatal or serious injury by up to 50%.
August 2020 also marks the 50 year anniversary of the introduction of mandatory seatbelt wearing legislation in Victoria.
The well remembered Bend Your Knees Katie campaign serves as a reminder to Victorians of how important it is to wear a seatbelt while in a vehicle.
