Neo has 2-point for the middle rear passenger. Waja do have 3 3-point though.

Myvi don’t have a seat belt for the middle rear passenger, which surprised me.

Then should express busses (I know buses have their speed limited, but most of them travel abt 110kph at highway, makes them in the league of passenger cars) need to install seat belt too?

most impressive is the waja, 3-3point rear belts and if not mistaken, its the same for neo also.

but end of the day, its all about enforcement.. already there are many problems with basic road laws today.. motorcyclists in general break every known law in the book.. everyone jumps red lights, talk on the phone without hands free, do not stop at junctions..and list goes on…

plus the fact that many malaysian families are larger than 5 people, and they only have 1 car capable of carrying 5 belted up passengers..

Lap belt does not guarantee the same protection as offered by more proper 3-point seat belt.

Seat Belt Syndrome, or SBS, is a phrase that was originally coined by the medical community in the late 1950s and early 1960s to describe injuries that physicians were seeing as a result of occupants wearing lap-belt-only restraints in frontal collisions. These injuries typically include: (1) severe abdominal injuries, (2) fractures of the lumbar spine, and (3) serious closed head and facial injuries.

These injuries are primarily the result of the occupant’s body jackknifing over the lap belt, at the waist, during the collision. Under such circumstances, the lap belt causes extreme force to be applied along the pelvis to the mid-section of the occupant. Securing the waist without securing the upper torso leads to increased head and neck velocities, which can cause serious head and neck injuries following either a head strike or inertial loading of the spine. A majority of these injuries can be prevented by the installation of an integrated three-point belt or other upper-torso restraint.

Having users buckling up is not a govenment problem. It would not be an enforcement problem either, knowing how our (traffic) police force operates.

Sooner or later, if you get hurt in an accident wihout buckling up properly, you can bet on it insurance might void payment for your PA. Mark my words.

Malaysians have very little regard for safety. Only when it will cost them serious money they will. A small saman or kopi duit will not discourage anyone.

Worst case, they even have a baby sitting on the driver’s lap while driving their car.

Anyway,

Malaysians are wierd bunch, they can’t even expect them doing the simplest thing –

putting on turn signal at junction before turning in.

So what is there to do for the rear passenger? expect them to buckle up too?
