MOTORISTS have been given a lesson about how to belt up in the car.

Warrington Borough Council joined forces with Cheshire Police to hold a road show at Gulliver's on Wednesday to promote awareness about changes in the law when it comes to seat belts.

From September 18, all children under the height of 1.35m (mostly the under 12s) must use the appropriate child car seat.

Staff were giving out information and advice to parents about the new changes and parents could also have their car seats checked while they were at the event.
