New AI safety cameras on Western Australian roads are detecting hundreds of drivers daily whose passengers, particularly children, are not wearing seatbelts correctly. Parents are receiving $550 fines and eight demerit points when children move their seatbelts, even momentarily, with approximately 80% of detected offences involving incorrectly worn seatbelts rather than unclipped ones. The Road Safety Commission is now focusing on education as parents express frustration over the strict enforcement, particularly in cases involving neurodivergent children with sensory issues.
