On these days, one of the high-ranking officials of the traffic police
explained as part of the Odyssey of fastening the seatbelts who has the
right not to fasten the seatbelt. It was found out that the drivers
and the passengers of the police cars, fire engines, and ambulances,
for example, have the right not to fasten the seat belt.
Alongside with this, the prime minister calls on the police officials
to set model for drivers and fasten their seatbelts. In other words,
regardless the legal right not to fasten it, the traffic police
officials are advised to fasten the belts. We have to note that some
of the road police officials followed prime minister’s advice; the
others followed the "internal" advice not to fasten the seat belts.
The logic of this privilege is not understandable. If the seatbelt is
for safety, the type and the color of the car does not matter. Since
danger is most probably colorblind and does not distinguish the
colors. Consequently, when the danger comes it harms all the cars
independently from their color. And this means that the consequence
is the same.
Does the government think that the drivers and passengers of cars
with special coloring, such as policemen, doctors, firemen and others
do not deserve security? All of them like the other citizens and the
life of each citizen must be valuable for us. We must care about them
regardless the color of their cars.
