Grace period ends: Seat belts compulsory on expressways from June 20

The National Council for Road Safety has announced that the mandatory seat belt regulation will be strictly enforced from June 20, ending the grace period previously granted to motorists.

Council Chairman Manjula Kularatne said all passengers, both in the front and rear seats, must wear seat belts when travelling on expressways. 

He emphasized that the rule will be applied without exception once the grace period concludes on June 19.

Authorities noted that the regulation had been introduced earlier, but enforcement was temporarily relaxed to allow the public time to adjust. 

With the deadline now approaching, officials confirmed that full compliance will be required from June 20 onward. (Newswire)
