This new law does not go far enough regarding seat belts.
It should be law that everyone in the car/vehicle regardless of location in the front or back should be wearing a seat belt.
All kids should be in a suitable car seat for their weight and height, and yes there are different ones!
In the last few years the UK has brought out a new law in which children below a certain height have to use a booster seat which is placed on the existing car seat so the seat belt will not crush them in an accident. Qatar needs to adopt this too.
It makes me so angry when I see children jumping around in the car front back and in the trunk. In an accident they have NO chance! This is just simply neglect and a form of child abuse in my eyes, and those responsible should be punished for that. Children need to be protected even if their parents don't care.
For the amount of population in the country Qatar has one of the worst tally of road deaths and serious road accident injuries per population. They are figures that are disgusting for such a small population!
It is about time the laws are enforced regardless of nationality, importance or status!
