(maybe it depends on da type of front seat.. i guess so..) road condition is another factor, but look, they cant take action on all.. everything must be done step by step n gradually.. if they improve da road, perhaps u will complain about seatbelts n so on n vice versa~ cheers~!! =) well, tat is absolutely correct.. even if u ride in a bentley, if it crash at a very high speed, it will experience a bad wreckage as well as the passengers.. nothing is 100% perfect.. dat is why we need to drive carefully n consider all safety measurements.. i like da proton ghost ad as well as the youngsters travelling in red wira n crash.. da wira one is true.. rear person’s body impact can cause serious injury to da front one..

You want the G to implement the above first BEFORE passing the law about using rear seatbelt? If you car is already equipped with it why dont you use it? Oh i forgot, its because you think it will trap you in an accident. Now u're saying airbags are not good? If your car was equipped with an airbag do you remove it coz you're afraid it might burn your face? Seems like the safest car for you is one without any airbags or seatbelts at all.

I would like to see you tell that to your European friends...i have no doubt what they will be thinking of you.

Yes I dont deny that human error is one of the major causes of traffic accidents, but what you're saying is that everyone should just drives safely then there will be no need for seatbelts and other safety devices.

i got to know that my niece once crashed to the window when the car she was travelling in has to make an emergency stop, not due to driving fast or anything but due to the fact that the lorry in front decided that heck i wanna make a u-turn suddenly without siganlling.. luckily she’s not hurt or anything but what if the car had been travelling at a faster speed? would this incident be avoided had she wore the rear seatbelt? 100% YES..

and also i guess most of us had seen the ad on TV about that 4 friends travelling in a car then suddenly the car from the opposite way suddenly went into their lane and hit their car died because the rear passenger flew forward and impacted the front passenger as well.. the ad is showing us that we might be driving properly but what about when other people hit us? can we control that? the least we can do is protect ourselves/family and wearing rear seatbelt is 1 way to do it..

Anyways, despite that the usual people are going to profit (cronies, police) the law is a good idea. Too bad it will probably be enforced about as strictly as the front seat belt law. As in never, except for when cops get hungry... Bet you'll still see kids everyday jumping around all over kancils and kelisas and pressing their faces to windscreen/windows after this goes into effect...

Last time they imposed speed limit device to bus and lorry for a safe safety reason, later scrap it. But this speed limit device supplier is connected to VIP in G. Who know there is seatbelt supplier behind all this sudden announcement? ======================================== It's not like the gov is saying all old cars must get seatbelts from so and so. Besides, all new cars post 1990 seem to come with them - why not make use of it? The typical life of a car (in a developing country) is about 20 years. So that means most cars should have them built in by now (late 2007) My bet is that there is gonna be an influx of chinese made seatbelt kits for old cars (new cars come with them so they arent necessary).

Is accidents in M'sia different with other contries ? Why not do research which regulation is the best suit M'sia. Then present it to G for implementation. We are way behine on this. It is looks like RDS want to show that they are working ! Perggg. Further more why not study WHY ACCIDENT HAPPEND. Anyway we should implement it. Dont understand why RSD need research for this.

My '70 Bug doesn't have front OR rear seatbelts tho... *pening* I’m surprised that there are actually negative comments on this… anyways I fully support it, and as usual if you want Malaysians to do something, you have to implement a law… lol (remember the tongsampah rule back then?)

Your comments expose your narrow-mindedness. So you leave it to fate, and dont use seatbelt when you drive because you fear getting trapped inside you car after a crash? And you believe your passengers will be 100% safe as long as you drive carefully? Please dont tell me the only reason you use a front seatbelt is because its the law. Why do you think major car manufacturers continue spending millions of dollors on safety research and development if they dont believe in seatbelts in the first place? All the airbags in the world will not save you if you're not strapped in properly in the first place! And do you think the "orang putih" implemented mandatory use of seatbelts because it was forced onto them? They have brains to realise the importance of such device, so let me ask you one final question....where is YOUR brain? Oscarsmh, I cant believe how stupid and ignorant you are!

They should concentrate more on education before embarking on enforcement through fines." Correct, but people learn faster when it cost them money. They learn even faster when they see thier kids fly out through the windshield. I know, I sound cold, but fact is, it doens't pay to be ignorant. This should be a self regulating rule. Wait and see, once this "law" in in place, very soon insurance companies may void your benefits if it is found that you didn't belt down. @Banyak
