How many points are deducted for not wearing the seat belt in the passenger seat?
1 Answers
Drivers not wearing seat belts will be deducted 2 points, while passengers not wearing them will not be penalized with points but will face fines. According to China's Road Traffic Safety Law, when driving a motor vehicle on the road, passengers in the front passenger seat must also wear seat belts. The law has long clearly stipulated that the front passenger must wear a seat belt. The function of wearing a seat belt: In potentially fatal car accidents, wearing a seat belt can increase the survival rate of occupants by 60%. In head-on collisions, wearing a seat belt can reduce the fatality rate by 57%. When an unbelted rear-seat passenger violently impacts the front seat during a crash, it exerts significant force on the driver or front-seat passengers, increasing the fatality rate by approximately five times. Legal basis: Article 51 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China" states that 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. Article 90 stipulates that motor vehicle drivers who violate road traffic safety laws and regulations regarding road usage will be given a warning or fined between 20 and 200 yuan. If other provisions of this law apply, penalties will be imposed accordingly.
