A Dangerous Trend in Malaysia – JPJ.
The Rise of a Dangerous Shortcut
Imagine this: You hop into your car, buckle up (or so it seems), and hit the road. But instead of a real seatbelt, you’ve plugged in a dummy seatbelt buckle—just to silence that annoying beeping sound. Sounds harmless, right? Wrong. JPJ (Jabatan Pengangkutan Jalan) is cracking down on this worrying trend, warning Malaysians about the serious risks involved.
Why Are People Using Dummy Seatbelt Buckles?
Some drivers see seatbelt warnings as an inconvenience rather than a lifesaving feature. They buy cheap dummy buckles online, plug them in, and drive off freely—completely unrestrained. But here’s the kicker: traffic cameras in Malaysia are getting smarter. More enforcement means getting caught could cost you big time. And if you’re in a crash? Let’s just say, insurance kereta claims won’t be in your favor.
The Dangers of This Trend
Zero Protection in Accidents – If you think airbag deployment is enough, think again. Without a seatbelt, you’re a human projectile in a crash.
Legal Consequences – JPJ is ramping up penalties, and if caught, you could face hefty fines or even license suspension.
Insurance Malaysia Issues – If insurers find out you weren’t wearing a seatbelt, your claim could be denied, leaving you with massive repair and medical bills.
JPJ and Authorities Are Watching
With advanced AI-powered traffic cameras in Malaysia, authorities can now detect unbuckled drivers more efficiently. Plus, enforcement officers are cracking down, ensuring road safety remains a top priority.
