Drivers who fail to use seat belts as required will be fined 50 yuan. Making or answering handheld phone calls while driving will result in a deduction of 2 points and a fine of 50 yuan. The purpose of wearing a seat belt is to ensure driving safety, and the method of wearing it must not be wrong. If the seat belt passes under the armpit and does not restrain the shoulder position, the body will still tilt forward or backward due to inertia in the event of a traffic accident, failing to provide any protection. The shoulder belt should be fastened across the hips and chest, pulled over the shoulder, and positioned horizontally over the pelvis and ribcage, forming a horizontally placed V-shape. Driving while calling can distract the driver, reduce their ability to respond, increase the risk of traffic accidents by four times compared to normal conditions, and also affect the traffic efficiency of vehicles, exacerbating road congestion. To further prevent and reduce traffic accidents and enhance the traffic safety awareness of drivers and passengers, according to the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China" and other relevant regulations, electronic monitoring will be used to capture traffic violations such as "answering or making handheld phone calls" and "failing to use seat belts as required" while driving, and penalties will be imposed on the drivers in accordance with the law.
