Hong Kong has introduced new road traffic safety regulations stating that, starting January 25, all passengers on public transport and commercial vehicles must wear seat belts. Passengers on buses are required to wear seat belts if their seats are equipped with them; failure to do so is considered illegal, with a maximum fine of HK$5,000 and up to three months' imprisonment.
Today (Jan. 26) marks the first working day following the implementation of the bus seat belt regulations, and reporters from DotDotNews observed that most passengers on several buses have begun to wear seat belts.
To help the public smoothly adapt to the new regulations and avoid unintentional violations, DotDotNews has compiled official information and common questions to provide the most practical "bus seat belt guide"!
