Your Belt/Your Life FAQs
What is the ‘Your Belt/Your Life scheme?
The Your Belt/Your Life scheme provides an educational alternative to prosecution. It is designed to explain why it is important to wear a seatbelt. The scheme was created by the Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO – now NPCC) and is administered by AA DriveTech.
What does the course involve?
The online course will take approximately 30 minutes to complete. You will be taken through interactive e-learning screens which will highlight the positives of wearing a seatbelt. There is a quiz at the end of the course which will gauge what you have learnt from the course. Please visit https://www.ukroed.org.uk/courses/find-course/ and login using your Ticket Number and PIN Number.
For those without internet access there is a fully offline alternative. Please contact AA DriveTech’s customer care team on 0344 264 6349 for more details.
What is 24/7?
An abbreviation of AA DriveTech’s customer care team’s opening hours, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Can I fail?
There is a short quiz at the end of the course. You will be expected to achieve a minimum pass mark of seven out of 10. There is no limit on the number of quiz attempts you can have, so long as the quiz is successfully completed prior to the completion deadline date, which is shown on the front of your letter.
Will the course benefit me?

How do I decline the offer of the Your Belt/Your Life scheme?
