In New South Wales, the wearing of seat belts was compelled by a new regulation (Regulation 110F) under the Motor Traffic Act, 1909, in the following terms: "No person shall, while occupying a seat position in a motor car to which a seat belt has been fitted for the seat position, drive or travel, upon a public street, in that motor car unless he is wearing that belt and the belt is properly adjusted and securely fastened." The penalty for an offence under this regulation was set at $20 (Australian). Exemptions were set down for various categories of vehicle use (such as house-to-house delivery work) and vehicle occupant (such as children of under the age of eight years).
