This is something that popped up on my mind when someone tells me "Lets go for a drink" and I reply "OK, YOU DRIVE!"
The law on vehicle rear seat belts started on 1 January 2009. Vehicle owners and passengers will be given a six-month grace period up to 30 June 2009 when they will only be issued a compound fine of RM300 for not wearing rear seat belts.
From 1 July 2009, 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.
