242 caught for not wearing rear seat belt
KUALA LUMPUR The Road Transport Department (JPJ) swung into action at the stroke of midnight to enforce the law on vehicle rear seat belts which came into force Thursday and promptly issued
242 summonses for failure to buckle up, at 28 locations nationwide.
Vehicle owners and passengers will be given a six-month grace period up to June 30 when they will only be issued a compound fine of
RM300 for not wearing rear seat belts.
From July 1, drivers and passengers caught not using their seat belts would have to pay a fine of up to
RM2,000, serve up to
one year's jail or both under the Road Transport Act.
Great! It's not Welcome 2009, It's MONEY MONEY COME for Malaysia Government! RM2000 for not wearing rear seat belt on July onwards!
