Remarks by S for S at media session after Fight Crime Committee meeting (with video)
************************************************************************************
Reporter: Given that the Secretary for Transport and Logistics (STL) has just announced to remove relevant clauses regarding the seat belt rule on buses, what does this mean for law enforcement agencies and how will officers respond to the decision?
Secretary for Security: I think wearing a seat belt is one of the best ways to safeguard lives during any traffic accident. No matter whether you are in a private car, or in a van or on a bus, as long as a seat belt fits, it is our recommendation that you have to wear it, no matter whether there is a legal requirement or not. As the STL has already indicated that the Government will follow up regarding the legal enactment issues, for the time being, law enforcement officers will do maximum publicity regarding the wearing of seat belts. Thank you.
