Proposal for Safety-Belt Reminder System by France, Japan, and UK

This proposal outlines a mandatory safety-belt reminder system, advocating for gentle alerts to prompt occupants to buckle their seatbelts. Recognizing the high efficacy of safety-belt usage in improving road safety, the system is designed to generate a visual signal followed by combined visual and audible alerts, ensuring compatibility with international regulations. The implementation will be phased, with specific provisions for various vehicle categories. The proposal accommodates recent feedback from Japan and the UK, addressing deactivation and definition of terms.
