How Many Points Are Deducted for Driving Without Wearing a Seatbelt and Using a Phone?

[LeWalter]

Driving while using a phone and not wearing a seatbelt typically results in a deduction of 5 points, which includes 3 points for using a phone while driving and 2 points for not wearing a seatbelt. However, there is a scenario where only 3 points are deducted. For instance, if the offense occurs on roads other than highways or urban expressways, not wearing a seatbelt may not lead to point deduction but only a fine. In this case, only the 3 points for using a phone while driving are deducted. Dangers of Driving Without Wearing a Seatbelt and Using a Phone: Using a phone while driving is inherently dangerous, and doing so without wearing a seatbelt is even more hazardous. In the event of an unexpected situation or accident, the driver may bear the primary responsibility for the accident. Using a phone while driving also distracts the driver's attention. If the vehicle in front suddenly brakes, the driver behind may fail to brake in time due to being on the phone, increasing the likelihood of a collision. Worse still, in severe accidents, not wearing a seatbelt could result in the driver being ejected from the vehicle, among other serious consequences.
