LV= reveals seatbelt habits

More than a third of passengers flout seatbelt laws by not buckling up in the backseat, according to LV=.

The insurance provider said that in spite of the law requiring passengers to wear a seatbelt at all times, 2.3 million drivers fail to do so.

Some 43 per cent of those who do not always wear a seatbelt said it was because they either forgot or did not think about buckling up.

A further 16 per cent did not use a seatbelt on short journeys, while one per cent failed to do so as they did not want to crumple their clothes.

Apart from the fact that those caught could be fined up to £500, LV= warned that insurance claims payouts could also be affected.

Commenting on what he described as "worrying" statistics, Martin Milliner, head of technical claims at LV=, said that drivers should check their passengers use seatbelts

"We would really urge drivers and passengers to think again about their safety and ensure that everyone in the car is buckled up on every journey - in some cases it could be the biggest favour they ever do for friends or family," he added.

Consumers who buy LV= car insurance via the provider's website can benefit from a ten per cent discount.
