How many points are deducted for a child sitting in the front passenger seat?

[PeterLynn]

No points are deducted for a child sitting in the front passenger seat. According to the Road Traffic Safety Law, the Implementation Regulations of the Road Traffic Safety Law, and the Ministry of Public Security Order No. 123 on the Issuance and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses, there are no explicit mandatory regulations prohibiting children from sitting in the front passenger seat or requiring the use of child safety seats. However, most vehicle manuals indicate that children under 12 years old (or shorter than 1.4 meters) should not sit in the front row. The front passenger seat is the most dangerous position, as in the event of sudden braking, parents are unable to provide timely protection to a child seated there. Vehicle seat belts are designed based on adult standards, suitable for individuals weighing over 36kg and taller than 140cm. If used for children, the seat belt may press against the child's neck, causing greater harm in the event of an accident. Even holding a child in the lap is highly unsafe. Hazards of children sitting in the front passenger seat: When the airbag deploys, the strong impact force may knock the child unconscious; In a collision, an unrestrained child may be ejected, and even with a seat belt, there is a risk of injury or ejection; Children's tendency to move around may distract the driver, and they might play with the gear shift. Precautions for sitting in the front passenger seat: Do not hold a child: Children under 12 years old should not sit in the front passenger seat, nor should they be held there. Use seat belts correctly: Without a seat belt, sudden braking could eject the passenger from the vehicle. Reclining the seat too far while wearing a seat belt can turn it into a noose, posing a strangulation risk during sudden braking. Avoid controversial discussions: Avoid discussing contentious topics with the driver, as arguments can lead to emotional loss of control, potentially causing the driver to lose control of the vehicle. Conversations should be mild and soothing to the driver's mood, avoiding any actions that might provoke or upset the driver.
