Therefore the police are to  conduct more patrolling on the main roads of the cities and suburbs to  check motorists in order to ascertain if motorists are obeying the new  regulations with the implementation of the new law.              The provisions of these regulations will not apply to a person whose  height does not exceed 1.5 metres or persons who are exempted from  wearing a body restraining seat belt on the recommendation of a  Registered Medical Practitioner.             Also drivers of vehicles, who hold a valid Medical Certificate signed  by a registered medical practitioner stating that it is medically  inadvisable for such person to wear a seat belt, need not wear a seat  belt while performing maneuvers which include reversing.</blockquote>
