We should enforce this rule

Government should enforce the rule about wearing the safety belt at car back seats. Too many lives have been implicated because of the lax driving attitude among malaysian drivers.

I'm saying this because I have a friend who died in a car accident a couple of years ago. He was thrown out of the car while seating at the back seat. The driver and passenger at the front only suffered minor injuries, thanks to the safety belt.

If there is one thing that Malaysia is not boleh in, that is the high rate of fatal traffic accidents especially during the festive periods where you find many tragic stories. I think we ought to follow Singapore in enforcing this traffic rule to help save lives. Last time when I travelled to Europe, some countries even enforced wearing seat belts on buses.
