IT doesn't matter whether you're the Queen's husband or someone driving in the Wellington area - you're likely to get the same treatment.

Three motorists in the Wellington area were stopped for not wearing their seatbelts.

They were spotted snapping their belts on as a police car passed yesterday.

PCSO Louise Fyne tweeted: "Rural Patrol 3 drivers given WOA for hurriedly putting on their seatbelts as police vehicle passed.

"The law requires that drivers and passengers aged 14 and over in cars, vans and other commercial vehicles must wear a seatbelt, if available. #ASPRoafdsfety."

And if you were wondering - WOA stands for words of advice.

The Duke of Edinburgh, Prince Philip, was given 'WOA' after he was spotted just 48 hours after his Range Range tipped over onto its side following an incident as he drove off the Sandringham estate in Norfolk.
