Transport authorities will enforce a new traffic law requiring back-seat passengers to wear seat belts starting Aug. 1, officials said yesterday. There will be a six-month grace period in which violators will receive a warning instead of a fine, but beginning Feb. 1 next year, they will be fined ranging from NT$1,500 to NT$6,000, the officials from the transport ministry said. The law, passed earlier this year, requires all passengers in the back seat of most kinds of vehicle to wear seat belts.
The new law is applicable to private cars, taxis, rentals and small cargo vans. Ambulances and child-transport vehicles — such as those used by kindergartens — are exempted. The law also forbids children under 12 sitting in the front seat. Kids under 4 years old or under 18 kilograms must be seated on safety seats, and children from 4 to 12 must all wear seat belts.
Drivers will be fined if passengers fail to buckle up. On ordinary roads and streets, the fine is NT$1,500, and on highways and expressways, the fines range from NT$3,000 to NT$6,000Taxi passengers must also wear seat belts. If passengers refuse to do so after being reminded by the drivers, it will be the passengers who receive the fine, the officials said. 【題組】47.When will the law actually go in effect?
