Almost 60 drivers were warned by police for seatbelt offences during a two-week operation.
Cumbria police took part in the national operation and stopped 64 vehicles.
A spokesman said 59 seatbelt offences identified and of those, 51 were in relation to the front seats.
Officers issued 46 traffic offence reports and 13 verbal warnings.
It is a requirement by law to wear your seatbelt or you could be fined up to £500.
You could also face a fine if a child under 14 isn’t in the correct car seat or wearing a seat belt while you’re driving.
Sergeant Lee Hill, of Cumbria police, said: “Putting on your seatbelt takes seconds, its concerning to see so many not wearing a seatbelt which saves lives.
“People are aware of the dangers but put their lives at risk as well as the lives of others in the vehicle.
“I hope that those who received a traffic offence report and verbal warning now wear their seatbelts and consider the consequences if they don’t.
“Please wear your seatbelt every time you travel in vehicle no matter how far you travel; it could save your life.”
