The Effectiveness of OPS Bersepadu During CNY 2012 on Compliance of Seatbelt Wearing Among Vehicle Occupants in Selected Areas in Malaysia

This study was undertaken to determine the effectiveness of the current OPS Bersepadu on compliance of seatbelt wearing among car occupants at selected areas in Malaysia. The observations were conducted during the Chinese New Year Festive Season 2012 in conjunction with the Ops Bersepadu conducted by the road safety enforcement agencies throughout the country from 3rd January 2012 to 15th February 2012. Finding showed that there was increase pattern on the overall wearing for drivers, front passengers and rear passengers during the OPS compared to before and then it decreased after the OPS. This study concludes that the current Ops have a positive impact on the seat belt wearing rate among drivers, front passenger and rear passengers. However, the seat belt wearing rate did not sustain after the ops. The magnitude of change was also small suggesting that there is a need to have a more specific and continuous enforcement targeting the car occupants. Therefore, it is important to regularly publicise the enforcement activities to increase the perception of being caught among the car occupants. At the same time, the enforcement activities pertaining to seatbelt wearing should be increased and be made more visible to the public.
