Ms Paula Hilman:

It is about having them in the right places to slow people down. It is about saving lives.

In regard to the vehicles, if younger drivers who are just starting to drive have a black box fitted, some insurance companies potentially will reduce insurance rates. Such initiatives seek to encourage younger drivers who are disproportionately impacted by this. It was brought to my attention yesterday that there are suppliers that supply devices that will silence seat belts if they are not put on. I hear the shop is no longer selling them. It is morally and ethically wrong. What is the right thing to do? The team is starting to look at that. One of the shops has certainly stopped it. However, these devices can be bought online. Will enforcement ever stop people who are that intent on not wearing their seat belts? We know wearing seat belts save lives. We encourage everyone to wear a seat belt because it will save lives.
