The police superintendent responsible for the newly set up Roads Policing Unit, Nicholas Vella, pinpointed speed, distractions, and a lack of seatbelt use as the most common causes of road...

latest comment from Simon Oosterman, 29/06/2025 10:31: Incredible! How can lack of seatbelt use be a cause of traffic accidents? Seatbelts limit the seriousness of injuries when there is an accident. They obviously do not prevent accidents from happening.
