How Many Points Are Deducted for Not Wearing a Seat Belt While Driving?
2 Answers
Driver not wearing a seat belt will be deducted 2 points, while passengers not wearing seat belts will not be penalized. According to Article 51 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law": When a motor vehicle is in motion, the driver and passengers must use seat belts as required, and motorcycle drivers and passengers must wear safety helmets as required. Introduction to seat belts: 1. Concept: A seat belt is a vehicle safety device designed to protect vehicle occupants from harmful movements that may occur during a collision or sudden stop. 2. Function: The role of a seat belt is to reduce the likelihood of death or serious injury in traffic collisions by minimizing the secondary impact forces that pose internal collision risks. It ensures proper positioning of occupants to maximize the effectiveness of airbags and prevents occupants from being ejected from the vehicle or experiencing rollovers during a collision.
I once forgot to fasten my seatbelt while driving and got caught, which really startled me at the time. According to current traffic regulations, not wearing a seatbelt results in a 1-point deduction and a fine typically ranging from 50 to 200 yuan, with minor variations depending on the location and the traffic police's discretion. The point deduction isn't much, but the main issue is safety—not wearing a seatbelt in an accident can easily lead to injuries or serious consequences. That's why I've developed the habit of buckling up as soon as I get in the car. Don't forget that passengers in the back seat should also wear seatbelts. Safety comes first for the whole family, and developing this good habit makes driving much more secure.
