Law enforcement authorities are to come down hard on those who do not wear seat belts while driving. The regulations have been approved under the Vehicle Emendatory Act 2009 – No 08, and accordingly those who do not wear seatbelts while driving will be prosecuted.
Most vehicles currently plying the roads are without the seat belts and have become an obstacle to the implementation of the law, but steps are being taken to overcome these obstacles in the near future, say authorities.
