A mum fined when police spotted one of her children not wearing a seatbelt is urging others to belt up.

Parveen Kauser was handed an on-the-spot fine of £30 by police just yards away from her home. Now she wants other drivers to be more aware of the dangers and is helping launch Bradford Road Safety Team's new road safety campaign.

Mrs Kauser was driving her nine-year-old son Mohammed Haseeb to the mosque but her daughter Asmaa, five, was sitting in the back of the family car and hadn't put her seatbelt on.

She said: "I normally do put the belts on straightaway but that morning I didn't.

"The police stopped me 20 yards away from my home and I knew straightaway it was because of the seatbelt - they had seen my daughter and she was not sitting right back. We all make mistakes, and I make sure now it will never happen again.

"Now, before the car starts, we make sure seatbelts are put on."

This year's safety campaign carries the slogan "Seatbelt - Live with it!" Posters carry shocking images of a child being thrown through a windscreen.

Mrs Kauser said: "I am urging other drivers and parents to heed warnings and keep themselves and their families safe."

Last year police in Bradford gave fixed-penalty tickets to 40 people in the first two hours of the campaign.

But 2,368 drivers and passengers were still injured across the district during the year, and 186 of those were under 15.

Sergeant Roger Birkett, of Bradford Police, said: "Wearing a seatbelt could save your life. It is hard to understand why people take risks not wearing them."

The campaign will see posters on buses across five local authorities, adverts in the media, leaflets distributed to schools and homes and a police blitz on offenders.
