The PDRM has issued a press release warning motorists not to drive when their children stick their body parts out of the sunroof. This is in response to a video posted by Twitter user @nabilahroslan showing a red Proton X70 in an NKVE fast lane with a child standing through a sunroof.
According to the PDRM, this can result in a fine of RM500 and imprisonment for up to 3 months, or both. Offenses belonging to Article 336 of the Penal Code – “anyone who commits any act so rashly or negligently as to endanger human life or the personal safety of others.”
The PDRM also urges the owner or driver of the Proton X70 and any other witnesses to report and report to the police or contact Sarjan Mejar Mohd Yusof b Hamzah at 01123065984 to help with the investigation.
Needless to say, even if it’s not illegal and punishable by law, you shouldn’t do it out of pure love and concern for your child. Don’t do this!
Having a child not properly secured in a child restraint is dangerous enough, but imagine all the bad things that could happen to a child’s body hanging from the car.
