The State government has decided to make wearing seat belts mandatory in heavy vehicles from November 1.
Drivers and front-seat passengers in heavy vehicles, including Kerala State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) buses, will have to wear seatbelts, Transport Minister Antony Raju, who chaired a review meeting of the AI camera project in the State, has said.
The deadline for drivers and cabin passengers to wear seat belts in heavy vehicles was fixed on September 1, which was later extended to October 30. Not only the driver, but also the front-seat passengers in the same row as the driver in heavy vehicles would have to wear seat belts as per the new decision.
