Actually, the law on seatbelts came into force almost exactly a year
ago, about the time I left (no connection). It may be interesting to
find out from someone still there what the effect has been, since 
other factors such as oil prices, speed limits, road conditions have
not, to my knowledge, changed significantly in that time.
