How long does it take to detect not wearing a seat belt?

Not wearing a seat belt can generally be detected within three days. Failing to wear a seat belt is also a traffic violation. If caught by an electronic eye, it usually takes two to three days to be detected, as these violation records require manual review (electronic captures involve data collection, organization, review, data entry and transmission, and finally manual review). However, it should not take more than 15 days at the latest. Drivers and passengers in the vehicle are required to fasten their seat belts while driving; otherwise, the following penalties will apply: 1. Front passenger seat: When driving a motor vehicle, the front passenger must wear a seat belt. Those caught on camera or on-site will be fined. 2. Not wearing a seat belt on highways: Drivers who do not wear seat belts while driving on highways or urban expressways will be fined and receive 2 demerit points, while front passengers will be fined, given a verbal warning, and ordered to correct the behavior.
Having driven for decades, not wearing a seatbelt can be quickly detected, depending on where the police and cameras are. Routine checks are common at highway exits and red-light intersections. Once, I forgot to buckle up and was pulled over by the police just minutes after entering the main road, resulting in a warning and a fine. Nowadays, with dense electronic surveillance and intelligent systems that monitor interior images in real-time, major cities can identify violations within seconds. Remember, safety comes first—don’t gamble. The law mandates seatbelt use; fines are minor, but the risk of accidents is serious. Develop the habit of buckling up immediately to prevent mishaps.
