Seatbelt Safety Campaign

A seatbelt survey was conducted on March 31, 2005 at WA, where the number of people in a car wearing seatbelts were recorded. Following this, the Seatbelt Use and Road Respect campaign was launched, where messages were displayed and morning announcements were made to discourage underage drinking and other drug use, promote safety belt use, and encourage students to never ride with an impaired driver.
