UK proposes 3 penalty points for not wearing seat belts, aiming to reduce fatalities.
The UK government is consulting on introducing three penalty points for drivers and passengers who fail to wear seat belts, a move that could raise insurance premiums.
Research shows 5.9 million UK drivers (14%) regularly skip seat belts, and in 2023, 25% of car occupants killed in crashes were unbuckled.
Current penalties include fines up to £500, but no points.
Exceptions include reversing, medical exemptions (requiring a certificate), and certain professional drivers.
Experts stress seat belts are a proven life-saving measure, and the proposed change aims to boost compliance and reduce fatalities.
