If you cannot wear a seat belt for medical reasons, you can get a medical exemption certificate from your doctor. There are also aids and adaptations available that make it easier for people with disabilities to wear a seat belt. For more information contact the Roads Safety Council of Northern Ireland on 028 9066 5757 or see www.roadsafetycouncil.com.
