Republic Act No. 8750 or the "Seat Belts Use Act of 1999."

 


The road is a very dangerous place. We do not know what kind of drivers we are driving with and it's alarming. We have no clue on what could happen anytime. And so, the "Seat Belts Use Act of 1999" is made. Through this Act, everyone, especially drivers and front seat passengers, are mandated to wear seatbelts when driving or traveling. This is for everyone's safety.

Wearing seat belt isn't a hard thing to do, but still, many people doesn't wear them. In case you don't know, seat belts protects us from harm. In times of accident, seat belts prevents us from getting badly injured. Let us say that you are driving at so much speed and then suddenly, an old man was passing by the road, so you had to step on the break immediately and hit the post beside the road instead. If you are wearing your seatbelts, you would still be safe. But, if you are not wearing your seatbelt, you probably flew already. And that is one of the importance of seatbelts.

LTO: ALMOST ONE THOUSAND (1,000) DRIVERS BROKE THE LAW OF "SEAT BELTS USE ACT OF 1999"

Last year, 2019, it is said that almost one thousand (1,000) drivers broke the law of "seat belts use act of 1999". 

For everybody's safety, road signs and traffic rules were implemented; but still, there are a lot of people who doesn't follow. But what's worse is that, there are actually drivers who doesn't know the meaning of those road signs.

And so of course, there are penalties and fines for them; for first offense, the driver is fined for Php1,000; for second offense, the driver is fined for Php2,000; and for third offense, the driver is charged for Php5,000 with one (1) week suspension of driver's license.

AN ACT REQUIRING THE MANDATORY COMPLIANCE BY MOTORISTS OF PRIVATE AND PUBLIC VEHICLES TO USE SEAT BELT DEVICES, AND REQUIRING VEHICLE MANUFACTURERS TO INSTALL SEAT BELT DEVICES IN ALL THEIR MANUFACTURED VEHICLES

For everybody's safety and protection, this law mandates everyone that upon riding the vehicle, the driver and front seat passengers of a public or private vehicle are required to wear or use their seat belt devices while inside of a vehicle on any road.

It literally costs us nothing to wear seat belts. Besides, it was made for our own safety, so why would you choose to not wear it? This just proves that our safety is literally on our own hands. Always keep in your mind that lack of discipline is also one of the causes of accidents.
