Country is having nonesense rules..seat belt is required who
ever drives cars only his country..And agins only few cities..
but other vehicles goes like hewire. Moter cycles doesn't follow any rules and specially law and order should stop going one family in a bike. I hv noticed this SL only..

I know of people who died as they didn't wear rear seat belts. People are too lazy to wear them. Most well known case is Princess Diana and Dodi Al Fayed in 1997. Their security guard escaped because he wore them.

For your lives' safety, wear belts on all seats.

Should bring up a new rule that ONLY two people can ride on a motor bike.

Seat belt rule is only for english number plates only and there is no road seperation for motor bike for road safety.

I am from Wattala and I know this place. It is a dangerous place. But in light of how most of the motor cyclists ride today, I won't be surprised if they died due to their own doing. They have absolutely no regard for the safety of them or the others and respect no rad rules. Ride like idiots on both lanes of the rad and rarely give room to bigger or faster vehicles. Also they are famous for riding on the middle white line of the road and/or abrupt drive-ons from by-roads to main roads.

There were only two people riding the bike here, but has that helped ?
