The designation of the road traffic act 1988 was to ensure ample protection is accorded to users of roads. The act is divided into six sections, each with different provisions. Section one gives details on road safety provisions. Children, specifically those under fourteen years, should not be left to occupy front seats in public vehicles. In case of motorcycle usage, protective gear like seat belts and helmets must be put on. Drivers must not be drunk or under the influence of drugs while driving.
