North Wales Police are now following bin men and delivery drivers, and booking them for not wearing seat belts.
Pleading that they only moved the truck 20 meters to the next house still got them booked.
30 guys have been done so far.
So next time you move the van 10 yards to the next house, make sure you belt up, or PC plod may have you.
Lets face it, it's much easier than catching drug dealers and burglars.

(e) a person by whom, as provided in the Motor Vehicles (Driving Licences) Regulations 1987, a test of competence to drive is being conducted and his wearing a seat belt would endanger himself or any other person;
(f) a person driving or riding in a vehicle while it is being used for fire brigade or police purposes or for carrying a person in lawful custody (a person who is being so carried being included in this exemption);
(g) the driver of—
(i) a licensed taxi while it is being used for seeking hire, or answering a call for hire, or carrying a passenger for hire, or
