A unique T shirt printed with a seatbelt design has gone viral across Pakistan shortly after the expansion of the e challan traffic monitoring system. Drivers in cities such as Lahore Karachi Islamabad and Faisalabad have started wearing the shirt to make it look like they are wearing a seatbelt even when they are not. The shirt creates the illusion of a shoulder belt strap and has become widely discussed on social media platforms. The trend has grown quickly as people look for ways to avoid the automatic fines being issued under the new digital enforcement system. Many videos and pictures are being shared where users show how the shirt appears in traffic camera footage.

Why Drivers Are Turning to the Seatbelt T Shirt

The new e challan system automatically detects violations using surveillance cameras. These violations include not wearing seatbelts ignoring traffic signals and using mobile phones while driving. When a violation is recorded the fine is sent directly to the vehicle owner through a digital challan system. Since the penalties are now harder to avoid some drivers began searching for shortcuts. The seatbelt T shirt became one of the fastest spreading responses as it is inexpensive easy to find and gives a misleading appearance of safety compliance.

Reaction from Authorities

Traffic officials have stated that while the shirt may trick cameras in some cases it does not provide safety and could put lives at risk. They have also warned that manual checking and on road patrols will continue and drivers not wearing real seatbelts will still be fined. Authorities emphasize that the primary goal of the e challan system is to reduce road accidents and encourage safe driving habits not just to collect fines.
