But as pressure mounts to take a break on the contentious issue Camerasthe government says there will be more.
More than 54,000 infringement notices have been issued against WA drivers in the last six months for wearing seatbelts incorrectly or not wearing them at all.
The acts were captured by AI cameras, and new data shows nearly $10 million in fines have been issued since its official launch in October.
Perth father Steven Shaw is one of those fined.
Within two months, between December and January, his passenger was caught by AI cameras wearing a seatbelt improperly on the highway four times.
“When you’re driving on the highway at 60 mph, there is no safe way to safely monitor the position of a passenger’s seat belt without potentially causing an accident,” Shaw told 9News.
