How many points are deducted for not wearing a seat belt while driving?
1 Answers
When driving on urban expressways, if the driver fails to use the seat belt as required, they will be fined and have 2 points deducted. When driving on roads other than highways or urban expressways, if the driver fails to use the seat belt as required, they will be fined but no points will be deducted. Passengers who do not wear seat belts as required will also be fined. Below is an introduction to seat belts: Types of seat belts: high-altitude work type, semi-full-body type, bungee equipment type, and automotive type. Function of seat belts: The function of automotive seat belts is to instantly tighten and secure the loosely worn seat belt when a vehicle collision occurs or emergency braking is applied, firmly restraining the occupant in the seat to prevent secondary collisions. Once the tightening force of the seat belt exceeds a certain limit, the force-limiting device will appropriately loosen the seat belt to maintain stable chest pressure. Therefore, automotive seat belts play a role in restraining displacement and buffering, absorbing impact energy, dissipating inertial force, and avoiding or reducing the severity of injuries to drivers and passengers. Automotive accident investigations show that in frontal collisions, wearing a seat belt can reduce fatalities by 57%, in side collisions by 44%, and in rollovers by 80%.
