I refer to Mr Raymund Koh Joo Guan's letter "Are curtains
allowed in cars? " (My Paper, 7 May 2009).
Motorists may install curtains in cars but must know they
cannot operate the car with the curtains drawn as this would obstruct the vision
of the driver. When the car is in operation, it is important that the curtains
be pulled back and secured so the driver's view is unobstructed, to help ensure
the safety of the driver and all road users,including pedestrians.
We thank Mr Koh for the opportunity to clarify.
