Seatbelts save lives, Queensland Road Safety Week 2018

Queensland Road Safety Week for 2018 has started and I for one am welcoming this initiative with open arms.
Not only because I am a serving police officer, but more importantly because I am a father.
While I am at work, I regularly see the lack of attention given to the importance of wearing a seatbelt.
An alarming trend that I have started to see is drivers and passengers wearing their seatbelt in such a manner that the sash passes under their armpit as opposed to over their shoulder.
If the seatbelt is not being worn correctly then then those people are likely to receive serious injuries in the event that they are involved in a crash.
Within my office I hear of incidents where police have intercepted drivers who are not wearing a seatbelt at all. The driver states that they find the seatbelt uncomfortable. If worn correctly, there should be little discomfort experienced.
