NSW to study wider seat belt use in older cars
NSW Government will consider compulsory seat belts for older vehicles. Transport Minister Morris told the Lismore gathering the cabinet committee on road safety will review retro fitting after the traffic accident research unit submits a preliminary report within days. The law reducing deaths by 20 percent is blamed for moving NSW from high to low road fatalities. Sales suspensions on former police cars are lifted as police say they do not use so called sniper cars.
