POLICE in Derry are warning motorists to belt up when they are behind the wheel of vehicles or face fines or even penalty points on their licence.

The PSNI say officers are encountering more and more people not wearing their seat belts while out on patrol across the city.

An officer writing on PSNI Foyle’s Facebook page sys: “Our police motorcyclists🛵🚦 report encountering what they describe as a worrying amount of motorists and passengers not wearing seatbelts.😡

“Some are deliberately bypassing their vehicle warning systems by plugging the seatbelt in and feeding it behind their seats🤦‍♂️, while others seem content just to ignore the audible and visual warnings🔊🙆‍♂️.

“Seatbelts save lives….USE THEM!!

“If you fail to do so, our officers will be issuing tickets📝 and with them unfortunately 3️⃣ penalty points.

“We have no discretion when it comes to this, such is the importance of seatbelt use.

“Even if you are alone in the car, failing to wear a seatbelt can still impact on others.

“If you were involved in a collision, wouldn’t you like to be in a position to help other injured parties?

“Your chances of being able to do this are greatly reduced if you have neglected to use your seatbelt.

“So for your sake🙎‍♂️, and the sake of others👨‍👩‍👧‍👦, please use your seatbelts on every journey.👍

“Seatbelts save lives!!”
