Rear Seat belt

[wfhan]

If my vehicle is a pre-1995 model and it does come with rear seatbelts, but
my rear passengers do not use their seatbelts, are they committing an offense?

anyone can answer this ??

been reading mtm site, it does not gives clear explanation also.. but of course in term
of safety, is better to buckle them up. But would just like to know if it is an offense in this scenario.

Vehicle owners and passengers will be given until June 30 during which they will only be issued a compound fine of RM300 for not wearing the belts.

From July 1, they can be fined up to RM2,000, jailed a maximum of one year or both under the Road Transport Act.

From the starnewspapper website..What does this mean "From July 1, they can be fined up to RM2,000, jailed a maximum of one year or both under the Road Transport Act."..Izzit ridiculous?

Still not use to it lah buckling up at the rear seat..how about those above 18 ? both driver and passenger kena?

sounds more serious than front passenger not buckling up....if caught only RM300 on the spot....but rear passenger kena RM2000
