Dozens of drivers caught without seatbelts in 90-minute police sting

More than 40 drivers were found not wearing seatbelts during a 90-minute road safety exercise on Cardiff on Friday. Motorists reported seeing a large police presence at Bridge Road in Llandaff North near Ysgol Gyfun Gymraeg Glantaf.

Officers from Fairwater neighbourhood policing team and South Wales Fire and Rescue Service used the school as a base to carry out the joint operation, which ran between 9.45am and 11.15am. In total 42 drivers were stopped.

A spokesman for South Wales Police said: "They then had the option to accept a fine or watch a safety video at the school. All opted for the latter at the school. Our colleagues in the South Wales Police collision investigation unit and fire service regularly see fatal and life-threatening collisions involving people who weren’t wearing a seatbelt."
