Fastening Of Seat Belts Compulsory From Tomorrow

[Prius]

English Numbers were issued since 2000 Aug , which is over 11 years ago. since most of the imports are used (5-3 years) non english number plated vehicles are average over 15 years old. government will be bringing in new laws to remove these old vehicles from our roads, even in india only 15 years from manufactured year is allowed for use.

Most of the pre english numbered vehicles are not much used ,and these need to be banned from entering the highways.

I along with a LOT of members here would beg to differ with you on this. It just goes to show your level of ignorance.

Has anyone seen people being stopped/fined for not belting up? There were loads of cops in Colombo yesterday, not sure if they were there for traffic violators or the election after parties.

[miniace]

Spoken to many ,never came across anyone being stopped or penalized. Hmm another law confined to media bashes, yet will continue wearing belts.After all thats for our safety

Oh dear... what am I gonna do now!!!! Both my girls are approaching that age now.

I am surprised that the average Indian car even lasts 15 years...

Amazing how the tax reduction last year created a sophisticated car culture in Sri Lanka over night, before that people were killing each other to buy AE91 Corollas at premium prices...

I am willing to bet that some of these prophets are first time car buyers who are milking the system through the tax reduction, Permit cars and Google. Suddenly they are experts on everything...

what seat belt law in the land of wild west.....more likely you can get killed caught between a shoot out with kudu mudalali cum parliamentarians, or run over, again by the kudu mudalali cum parliamentarians motorcade. What's the point of wearing a seat belt at all in the wild wild west...

Why don't you leave the Wild Wild West? Since its so dangerous.

[Pericles]

The funny thing is, even our shuttle driver has been wearing a seatbelt. And thats a 62 sri Bus.

You'd think that people with the resources to have a car/computer and educated enough to speak English should have the brains to buckle up. Its not like its this hugely complicated fighter pilot harness that someone needs to come and help you get strapped in.

Knuckleheads.

let me ask you this; would you be safer in a 65- BMW or a WP KM Maruti 800?

In a country where the number determines the resale value of the car, this is not surprising.

Most of the non english number plated vehicles that belong to members here in AL will literally run circles around your Priass in a highway

Your justification on how vehicles are to be deemed roadworthy are amazing. What they should do is ban vehicles that are driven by people who think that going over 30kmph will cause their car to explode while holding the rest of civilization up.

[Pericles]

Here is hoping that minimum speed limit applies strictly and there are heavy fines for people holding up traffic on the highways trying to hypermile or whatever the term is.

If they don't, we're gonna see a lot of rear-ended hybrids around.

Irrational to decide just based on the YOM and the age of the vehicle. It should be through a proper MOT system where the mechanical fitness of the vehicle is being checked.

If that's the case, lot of english plate vehicles will not be eligible to enter the highway. Have seen quite a lot of bashed Corollas, Vios with non working air bags (ribbon in the steering column broken due to some cheap maka basses messed up during rack end repairs), non working ABS (some the indicator bulb too removed or operating by a timed-relay), quite a lot 121s with after market nylon bushes on rack ends.. the list goes on, so never ASSUME that the english numbered vehicle parked on your drive way can enter the highway just because it carries an english number plate.

BTW, a friend had a GW-XXXX 504 and the car is still around, point to ponder.

That might be a good thing since most of them have ugly rear ends anyway
