There have been rule changes governing the use of seat belts in Club Registered vehicles.

In summary the rule changes mean:

1.  That, if your club registered vehicle is fitted with seat belts then these seat belts must be worn at all times.

2.  If passengers in your club registered vehicle are under the age of 7 years, then they must be restrained by a correctly fitted, approved child restraint.

3.  It follows that if you plan to have children under the age of 7 years travel in your club registered vehicle seat belt anchorage points must be permanently fitted in an approved manner.

 

For a full statement on these changes please refer to the communication from The Department of Transport Planning and Infrastructure HERE
