Halifax paper campaign cuts road deaths

Police believe a Halifax Courier campaign urging people in cars to wear seat-belts has saved lives. Since the campaign started in July, there has been one death on Calderdale roads compared to four in the same period last year. Serious injuries have also fallen, from 15 to nine. Sergeant Garry Alderson said: "People are taking note of the seat-belt campaign and it is saving lives... we are struggling to find non-compliant drivers." (Via Halifax Courier)
