In Pakistan, some of the new vehicles come with 3rd brake light e.g. Corolla, City, Civic, Alto etc. but some absolutely do not e.g. Ravi & Bolan. There is no law in Pakistan which hold vehicle assemblers accountable to include CHMSL compulsory in cars, vans, buses or trucks.

Traffic police can only ensure the proper function of what was built into the vehicle from the factory. Street-level law enforcement is the last stage of compliance, the initial stages should equally be paid attention to.
