[DelJoy]

14-year-old children are allowed to sit in the front passenger seat. According to new traffic regulations: children under 14 years old are not permitted to sit in the front passenger seat. If caught, a fine of 300 yuan and 6 penalty points will be imposed. The front passenger seat is actually the most dangerous position among all seats in a car. Therefore, to protect the safety of children, those under 14 years old must sit in the back seat. Below is relevant information: 1. Seatbelt Design: Seatbelts are designed for individuals taller than 1.4 meters. For children, seatbelts are ineffective and may even put them in an unsafe position. 2. Hazards of Young Children Sitting in the Front Passenger Seat: In the event of a traffic accident, the seatbelt may press against the child's neck, making it extremely dangerous for children to sit in the front passenger seat. Adults should not hold children in the front passenger seat either, as during emergency braking or accidents, adults cannot fully protect the child. Moreover, children in the front passenger seat may suffer much more severe injuries than adults. Additionally, child seats should not be installed in the front passenger seat.
