SAFETY * Taiwan - Starts sweeping inspection of all tour buses
Taipei,Taiwan -The China Post -June 26, 2007: -- Taipei Mayor Hau Lung-bin yesterday ordered a sweeping safety inspection of all passenger buses operating in the city while the central government is considering additional safety measures following the deaths of eight people and the injuring of 25 in Sunday's bus plunge in suburban Taipei... Yin Cheng-peng, director of the MOTC's department of railways and highways, explained that under the regulations governing road traffic safety, all seats on coaches have had to be equipped with seat belts since Feb. 1... However, Yin said, the law only demands the installation of seat belts, but does not stipulate that passengers must use them... The ministry will now more stringently enforce the new rules to help reduce casualties in case of accidents... (Photo: Rescueing Bus after accident in ravie)Labels: safety
