Punjab Traffic new Front Seaters Wear Seat belt or Pay Fine

Lahore Traffic Police has been continuously striving to make roads safer for commuters. From ensuring drivers use seatbelts and helmets (for bikes) to verifying that vehicles are properly registered and drivers hold valid licenses, the police department has implemented a series of measures aimed at enhancing road safety.

New Law: Seatbelt Rule Extended to Front Seat Passengers

A new regulation has been put in place which requires front passengers to wear a seatbelt. Failure to comply with this rule will result in the front passenger being fined.

This decision aims to reduce the number of injuries and fatalities resulting from road crashes. Although the primary focus has been on the driver’s safety in the past, studies have shown that passengers not wearing seatbelts in the front seat can also be at significant risk. In fact, these passengers could even harm the driver in the event of an accident.

In order to raise awareness about the new rule, a week-long campaign has been launched to educate the public on the importance of wearing seatbelts and the penalties for not doing so. Once the campaign ends, fines will be enforced for non-compliance.

The primary takeaway is clear: safety is the priority. Whether you're driving or simply sitting in the front seat, always wear your seatbelt to avoid fines and stay protected.

Major Reform in Vehicle Registration Process

In another significant update, the Punjab Government has made substantial changes to Section 24 of the Motor Vehicle Ordinance 1965, streamlining the vehicle registration process.

The new system allows Owners of Vehicle in Pakistan in Punjab to register their vehicles in any district within the province, removing the previous restriction that required individuals to register vehicles only in their permanent residential area.

This change simplifies the process and makes it far more accessible. The reform is part of the government's push for citizen-friendly policies that improve efficiency and convenience.

Before the change, individuals had to deal with unnecessary delays and complications while registering their vehicles in their home district. These outdated requirements created barriers for vehicle owners and added unnecessary bureaucratic hurdles. The new rule eliminates these issues, making the process quicker and more efficient for everyone.

Table: Key Vehicle Registration and Safety Updates

Feature	Old System	New System
Vehicle Registration	Limited to permanent residential district	Can be done in any district within the province
Seatbelt Requirement	Driver only	Front passengers must also wear seatbelt

Key Takeaways

Cars in Pakistan are becoming increasingly modern, and with these new road safety regulations and vehicle registration reforms, driving is expected to become easier and safer for everyone. The Punjab government is continuously working on improving systems and policies to keep up with modern technology and road safety standards.

These reforms will positively impact the vehicle drivers across the province and create a safer environment on the roads. It's time to adapt to these changes and embrace the safety and convenience they offer.
