Not to be a pessimistic, but I don't think this will work. Fine, I don't do myself but trying to remind myself la. Let me briefly explain.
First of all, people already beat the red traffic lights especially those damn motors! Those are the ones causing the accidents. DUHHHH! And that's like the first rule of driving. STOP AT RED LIGHTS. NOT GO FASTER!
How about those who has those damn white blinding lights at night. I thought it was banned but does the enforcement take place. You can answer that. Also how about tinting the windows with ultra dark films. Also banned but it's everywhere.
Then you have those in kampung not wearing helmets. Does the police even bother summoning them? NO. Though I have to admit, it won't be kampung if they don't wear their helmet.
But of course safety comes first.
So, what's the point in asking we people to wear the rear selt belts where enforcement is like #@$*@#&%*(@#&*#@$&#@$&#@!

PETALING JAYA: From Tuesday, motorists whose passengers are not belted up will be stopped by police. However, instead of summonses, they will be issued “advisory notices.”
The ruling comes into effect on Jan 1, after which the police will issue summonses. Road Safety Department director-general Datuk Suret Singh said the advisory notice was a final warning to motorists on the new ruling.
“It is not a summons but we will take down the car’s registration number, driver’s name and MyKad number, date, time and place they were caught flouting the law,” he said after launching a campaign advocating road safety here Friday.
He said motorists should not have the mentality of “wearing the seat belt only when they see the police” as the ruling was for the safety of passengers.
Suret Singh said research had shown that wearing seat belts saved the lives of 200 backseat passengers every year.
“Half of the accident victims were saved from severe and minor injuries by wearing rear seat belts,” he said.
