  Clunk Click Every Trip   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
"Clunk Click Every Trip" is the slogan of a series of British public information advertisements sponsored by the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents in January 1971 and starring Jimmy Savile.
The advertisements highlighted the dangers of being thrown through the windscreen in a car accident and reminded drivers that the first thing they should do after closing the door ("Clunk") is fasten their seatbelt ("Click").
These advertisements helped lay the groundwork for compulsory seatbelt use in the front seat of a vehicle, which law came into force on January 1, 1983, in the UK.

Unlike normal road cars, Formula 1 vehicles must be fitted with a six-point safety harness which comprises of the following: two shoulder straps that retain the upper portion of the body, two lap straps that pass across the front of the wearers pelvic region and two crotch straps.

 Shock video drives home seatbelt law
Drivers and front-seat passengers have been required to wear seatbelts since 1983, before then, the Government relied on the voluntary approach - promoted by the "clunk-click every trip" television campaign fronted by Sir Jimmy Savile.
In 1989 it was made compulsory to restrain children under 14 sitting in the rear, and in 1991 adults were made to belt up in the back if belts were fitted.
The legislation was extended after statistics showed that an unbelted passenger was three times more likely to die in an accident than one wearing a seatbelt.
