Motorists were warned of the consequences of not wearing a seat belt after a child was caught greeting officers from inside a vehicle without being buckled.
An urgent warning has been issued to drivers about the use of seat belts while driving.
According to GOV.UK, you must wear a seat belt if the chair you are using has one.
And if you are caught not wearing a leash, you could be fined up to £ 500.

Motorists are now being alerted after a child is seen greeting police officers without a seat belt from inside a vehicle.
The incident is believed to have occurred in Sheffield earlier this month.
Officers from the South Yorkshire Police Operational Support Team have reached out to Facebook to alert drivers.
They said: “On Tuesday (June 14) a woman was arrested in Firth Park in Sheffield for having an unbridled child in her car.
“Our officer’s attention was drawn to the two-year-old boy who was standing in the back of the car when the boy greeted him.
“Seat belts save lives and properly fastened and fitted car seats save children’s lives.
“We ask that you make sure your baby is tied up and safe while traveling, it is YOUR responsibility.”
The post continued: “The driver received a fixed ticket to have a child under the age of three without a seat belt.
“If you are unsure, you can find more information about booster car seats at government website. ”
The news comes after drivers received another “life or death” warning.
Motorists have been told their lives could be in danger as battery thieves target road signs and temporary traffic lights.
The British Metals Recycling Association (BMRA) said the problem of hundreds of signals and traffic lights was spiraling out of control.
He warned members to stay alert and beware of anyone attempting to steal the batteries.
