Saudi Gazette Report

RIYADH — The violation of not fastening the seatbelt is not limited to the vehicle driver, but also includes the passengers, the General Directorate of Traffic (GDT) has announced.

The GDT's announcement came after a person inquired whether the passenger would be subjected to a violation in case he did not buckle up the seatbelt.

The GDT has clarified that the system requires the passengers to fasten their seatbelts while the vehicle is on the road.

Failure to fasten the seatbelt will result in a fine for passengers, GDT confirmed.

The passenger would be cited for the violation during in-person inspection by traffic police, while the fine will be levied on the car owner/driver if the violation is caught in camera.
