How Many Points Are Deducted for Not Wearing the Seat Belt in the Passenger Seat?
2 Answers
Not wearing the seat belt in the passenger seat does not result in point deductions. Below are detailed explanations regarding car seat belts: Precautions: Do not drive or ride in a car if the seat belt is already damaged, as it cannot provide adequate protection during a collision. When fastening or unfastening the seat belt, ensure it is not twisted, as a twisted seat belt cannot effectively absorb impact forces during a collision due to its width. Function: Car seat belts serve to restrain movement and provide cushioning, absorbing impact energy and dissipating inertial forces, thereby preventing or mitigating the severity of injuries to drivers and passengers to some extent.
The other day when I was driving, my friend in the passenger seat didn't wear a seatbelt and got pulled over by traffic police, resulting in a 50-yuan fine without any points deducted. Actually, the regulation is like this: if the driver doesn't wear a seatbelt, they'll get 2 points deducted and a fine of around 200 yuan, but for passengers including those in the front seat, the penalty is usually just a fine without point deduction, typically ranging from 50 to 100 yuan depending on the region. The key issue is safety—not wearing a seatbelt can easily lead to being thrown out and seriously injured in case of a crash or sudden braking. I've seen some really gruesome accident scenes. Every time I drive, I remind everyone to buckle up as soon as they get in the car. Developing this habit is both convenient and life-saving, especially on highways or during city traffic jams where risks are higher. Regularly checking the car's safety equipment is also crucial to avoid similar problems.
