An organization of jeepney drivers and operators expressed opposition yesterday
to a newly implemented law requiring motorists and their passengers to wear

Drivers, even if buckled up, would be fined if their passengers are not
strapped in. The law also prohibits children six years old and below to sit in
the front seat of a running motor vehicle.

The Seat Belt Law or Republic Act 8750 was signed into law last year in a bid
to minimize injuries and deaths in road accidents. It was to be enforced
beginning yesterday.
