More than 250 drivers were caught not wearing a seatbelt in a week-long crackdown.
Cambridgeshire police issued 252 motorists with a £60 fine for not wearing a seatbelt or having passengers without seatbelts between Monday, September 10, and Sunday, September 16.
Officers also fined seven drivers for having children under 14 without a seatbelt.
The campaign was part of a Europe-wide initiative organised by Traffic Information System Police (TISPOL).
PC Steve Gedny, casualty reduction officer, said: “There were seven drivers fined for having children under 14 without a seat belt.
“Not only are they putting the children’s lives at risk, but also other people in the car.
“Seatbelts are a simple but life-saving device and it is against the law to travel without one.
“I would like to remind drivers that it is their responsibility to ensure young passengers are wearing seatbelts.”

Is this good Police utilization? Have they caught all the villains? Now they have alienated 200+ members of the public. If people don't wear seat belts they just hurt themselves.
