How many points are deducted for not wearing a seatbelt in the passenger seat?

[StAllie]

Not wearing a seatbelt in the passenger seat results in a deduction of 1 point. The passenger seat is also the most dangerous position in the entire vehicle, which is why modern cars will automatically sound an alarm if the passenger is not wearing a seatbelt. For the safety of yourself and others, it is essential to develop the good habit of wearing a seatbelt. The following are the regulations of the Road Traffic Safety Law and precautions for wearing a seatbelt: Road Traffic Safety Law Regulations: According to the Road Traffic Safety Law, when a motor vehicle is in motion, passengers in the front seat must also wear a seatbelt. The requirement for passengers to wear seatbelts was clearly stipulated in the old traffic regulations. Any passenger not wearing a seatbelt can be fined by the traffic police on duty. Precautions for Wearing a Seatbelt: The lap belt should be fastened snugly across the hips, just touching the upper thighs. In the event of a collision, the force will be distributed across the pelvic bones, preventing the seatbelt from tightening around the abdomen and causing serious injury.

When I first got my driver's license, I was quite curious about passengers not wearing seat belts in the front seat. After checking the relevant regulations, I found that this usually doesn't result in points being deducted from your license, but the driver will be fined 100 to 200 yuan, with standards varying by region—for example, it's 100 yuan in Shanghai. Safety is the priority! I always remind my friends and family to buckle up when I'm driving. If stopped by traffic police, at worst, you'll just pay a fine without losing points. However, the rules are stricter on highways, so extra caution is needed. Developing the habit of buckling up as soon as you get in the car can save lives and reduce accident risks. When checking your car's insurance, also take a moment to ensure the seat belt mechanism is functioning properly—don't wait for an accident to regret it.

As a stay-at-home mom who often drives to pick up and drop off kids at school, I pay special attention to the seatbelt issue in the passenger seat. The law clearly states that if the passenger doesn't buckle up, the driver is responsible for a fine of around 100 yuan, with no points deducted. But penalties are just reminders—the key is ensuring the whole family's safety. Kids in the back seats must also buckle up, and I always double-check when my husband is driving. A traffic police fine is minor—what matters is avoiding injuries in case of an accident. We teach our kids to follow rules, buckling up as soon as they get in the car to build good habits and save unnecessary worries. Installing a reminder device during vehicle maintenance can help avoid forgetting this step.

Having driven for transportation for over 20 years, I'm very clear about the rules for the passenger seatbelt. In earlier years, it might have incurred a 1-point deduction, but now with the reforms, it's only a fine of 100 to 200 yuan without any points involved, especially common in urban areas. Safety first—don't slack off! Remember to check if the buckle is aging to avoid poor contact and failure. Make it a habit to buckle up as soon as you get in the car to reduce risks. A ticket is no big deal, but life is priceless. Regularly check the equipment during maintenance to ensure it functions properly.
