Seatbelt Detection Cameras In Operation

Seatbelt and mobile phone detection cameras are currently operating across New South Wales. These cameras detect both drivers and passengers who are not wearing a seatbelt, or who are wearing one incorrectly.

Penalties apply to any driver detected not wearing a seatbelt properly, as well as to drivers whose passengers are not correctly restrained. Under NSW road laws, drivers are legally responsible for ensuring that all vehicle occupants are wearing an approved seatbelt or appropriate child restraint, and that each seatbelt is worn correctly.

Seatbelts have been saving lives on NSW roads for more than five decades. Correct seatbelt use remains one of the simplest and most effective ways to reduce the risk of death or serious injury in a motor vehicle crash. For more information, visit:
