The excuse " I forgot" is among the most common heard among those found not wearing seat belts on buses, says the Melaka Road Transport Department (JPJ).
Melaka JPJ director Siti Zarina Mohd Yusop said some passengers even said they did not think it was necessary to fasten their seat belts in a "big, safe bus."
She said this reflects a worrying lack of awareness and sense of responsibility among drivers and passengers.
