Drivers and passengers told to belt up or pay up
Transport Minister Seamus Brennan warned yesterday that all drivers and passengers must belt up from Monday or face strict penalties.
Motorists who do not use a seat belt or who allow children aged under 17 to be carried in their vehicle without restraint will incur two penalty points plus a fine of 60 if paid within 28 days. After that, the fine increases to 90 which must be paid within a further 28 days.
