Buckle up your seat belt...

Yeah! After ages of discussion, JPJ finally set out the rule of back seat belt. Which some thinks its reasonable while some think its not.

Like it or not, starting from 1st January 2009, all the back passenger of the car produced after year 1995 are required to buckle up their seat belt too! If you did not buckle up, you may be sued to the court and fined RM2000 or 1 year of imprisonment!

RM2000 and 1 year of imprisonment seems really too heavy for the road user. Personally, i think 1 year of imprisonment is not logical, failure to buckle up isn't a crime right? RM2000 of summon i personally also feel its too heavy, cant it be set at RM300 as its already can set a big awareness of the public. I think no one will wish to loose money from their pocket because of not buckle up the seat belt.

However, we have to agree that by buckle up the seat belt, we may save ourself and also the front passenger's life in the accident!

Your car is produced after year 1995 but do not have seat belt?

Don't worry, now you may get your free seatbelt installed at you manufacturer's service center! For Perodua, all model that do not comes with seat belt will be given this free seat belt. While for Proton, Gen-2 and Saga that produced between year 2004 to 2008 will get free seat belt! Meanwhile, Honda had yet to released any plan for free installation on its Honda City which do not come with rear centre seatbelt yet. So Honda driver, be patient for them to announce.

So everyone! Please buckle up your seat belt and it will save lifes.
