How many points are deducted for improper seat belt usage?
1 Answers
Improper seat belt usage does not result in point deductions; only failure to wear a seat belt will lead to point deductions. Correct method of wearing a seat belt: The primary function of a seat belt is to cushion the forward or backward inertia of the driver and passengers during an accident, keeping them as securely fixed to the seat as possible. When wearing a seat belt correctly, the shoulder strap should cross the chest, and the lap belt should fit snugly against the hip bones. This is mainly to ensure that the impact force during an accident is absorbed by the human skeletal structure rather than the softer internal organs. Failure to wear a seat belt: When driving on urban expressways or highways, if the driver fails to use the seat belt as required, they will be fined and have 2 points deducted from their license.
