Actually Datuk S Singh of Jabatan Keselamatan Jalan Raya (JKJR) or Road Safety Dept has been saying a lot. In today's newspapers, he announced 2 initiatives:- Legislation to make 'under-run protection' compulsory for all commercial vehicles.- Asking highway consessionaires to cooperate by towing away stalled vehicles on emergency lanes.Both of these rules might have prevented the recent 2 fatal BMW accidents and countless others.But a lot of people consider his initiatives to be a bother and additional cost to them. He introduced rear-passenger buckling-up last year, but had to back down from making it a bookable offence after much public outcry.Do you insist that your rear-passengers buckle-up? Do you teach your kids to? (My kids have been buckling up at the back since they were toddlers, and they still habitually do it now at university age)
