Saudi: New rulings on car safety for children
The General Directorate of Traffic’s has decided to fine those who allow children to travel in cars that are not fitted with child restraints, or those who allow children under the age of 10 to travel in the front seat.
The fines range from SR300 ($80) to SR500. Vehicles without back seats are exempt from the ruling about children travelling in the front. People found to be travelling without wearing a safety belt also risk fines ranging from SR150 to SR300 under the new rulings.
