Eighty-seven per cent of seatbelt violations are committed by male motorists, Abu Dhabi Police have said.
Police warned motorists about the dangers of not using seat belts during Gulf Traffic Week on Thursday.
Last year, 12 per cent of the motorists who died in traffic accidents and 10 per cent of those severely injured were not buckled up.
Brig Khalifa Al Khaili, director of the Abu Dhabi Police traffic and patrols director, urged motorists to fasten their seat belts before they start driving.
He said not wearing a seat belt is a traffic violation punishable by a Dh400 fine and four black points.
