Since retiring, SWMBO seems to be addicted to a telly programme called 'come dine with me'.
Several strangers are pulled together to cook a meal on different evenings for each other and then mark each others efforts.
I keep getting glances of interviews in the back of moving taxis where seat belt wearing seems to be non-essential.
Enough evidence for a fixed penalty?

I religiously strap in when in a taxi but am in a very small minority.

When I drove a minicab, the only passengers who would voluntarily wear their seatbelts in the back seats were the kind of people who had asked how much the fare would be when they booked it, and had the exact amount of cash ready in a plastic moneybag....
Virtually all passengers would wear them in the front though, which makes me think the old Public Information films didn't really get their message across.

I've seen a number of CDWM (good celebrity one last night with Little Mo and Bobby Davro) and I thought they did wear seat belts during the back seat interviews - I'll look a bit closer from now on.
Sometimes the participants do end up a bit worse for wear and perhaps just forget - not that that's an excuse for not belting up of course.

Another show with a lot of back-seat action is The Apprentice, and my (entirely subjective) impression is that more of the participants wear seat belts now than when it started in 2005. Perhaps the producers are encouraging it - or perhaps people are generally getting the message at last.

Good point - some of CDWMs they show are fairly old repeats.
