Major Mohammed Salem bin Hadif Al Amri, Director of the Traffic Enforcement Branch at the Al Ain Traffic and Patrols Department, urged motorists to fasten the seatbelt while being at the wheel, adding that fastening the seatbelt reduces chances of critical injuries and deaths in the event of accidents.

“The seatbelt absorbs body’s momentum and prevents the driver and passengers from hitting the upper side of the vehicle,” he said.
