Dear Chief Acosta, Magandang araw! Nais kong malaman kung diskresyon ba ng pasahero na nakaupo sa harapan ng pampublikong sasakyan ang pagsusuot ng seat belt? — Buboy

Dear Buboy, Para sa inyong kaalaman, ang inyong katanungan ay binigyang-linaw ng Section 4 ng Republic Act No 8750 o mas kilala sa tawag na “Seat Belts Use Act of 1999” kung saan nakasaad na:

“Section 4. Mandatory Use of Seat Belts. – For their own safety, the driver and front seat passenger of a public or private motor vehicle are required to wear or use their seat belt devices while inside a vehicle of running engine on any road or thoroughfare: Provided, that for private vehicles, except for jeeps, jeepneys, vans and buses and such other private vehicles as may be determined in the Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR), front and back seat passengers are likewise required to use their seat belt devices at all times.

In the case of public motor vehicles, the driver shall be required to immediately inform and require the front seat passengers upon boarding a vehicle of running engine to wear the prescribed seat belts. Any passenger who refuses to wear seat belts shall not be allowed to continue his/her trip. xxx” (Binigyang-diin)

Samakatwid, mandato ang pagsusuot ng seat belt sa pasaherong nakaupo sa harapan ng pampublikong sasakyan para sa kanilang kaligtasan. Maaaring obligahin ng drayber ang bawat pasahero na nakaupo sa harapan na magsuot ng seat belt. Ang sinumang tututol dito ay maaaring pababain ng sasakyan o hindi na payagan ng drayber na magpatuloy pa sa kanyang biyahe.

Nawa ay nasagot namin ang inyong katanungan. Nais naming ipaalala sa inyo na ang opinyong ito ay nakabase sa inyong mga naisalaysay sa inyong liham at sa pagkakaintindi namin dito. Maaaring maiba ang opinyon kung mayroong karagdagang impormasyong ibibigay. Mas mainam kung personal kayong sasangguni sa abogado.

Maraming salamat sa inyong patuloy na pagtitiwala.
