3 Answers
1. Points deduction for not wearing a seat belt when caught on camera: a. Driving without a seat belt on urban roads: If caught on camera or by traffic police on the spot, a fine will be imposed and 2 points will be deducted. b. Not wearing a seat belt on highways when caught on camera: A fine will be imposed and 2 points will be deducted. c. Driving on highways or roads other than urban expressways without wearing a seat belt when caught on camera: A fine will be imposed, but no points will be deducted. d. On urban roads with a speed limit below 50: A fine will be imposed for not wearing a seat belt once. 2. Additional extended information is as follows: a. According to survey results: In fatal car accidents, the survival rate of people wearing seat belts is 60% higher than those not wearing seat belts. In frontal collisions, wearing a seat belt can reduce the mortality rate by 57%, reduce side collision injuries by 44%, and reduce injuries caused by rollovers by 80%. b. Not wearing a seat belt will be caught on camera: Previously, common electronic eyes could not capture seat belts inside the car, but now major cities have replaced them with high-definition cameras that can clearly distinguish the situation inside the car. Not wearing a seat belt will be caught on camera. Moreover, traffic police randomly check sections of the road, making it hard for car owners who are not in the habit of wearing seat belts to avoid being caught, possibly at an intersection after a turn. Obey traffic rules and take responsibility for your safety, please fasten your seat belt.
I'm a regular when it comes to traffic safety. After driving for so long, seat belts are basic protection. If you're caught not wearing a seat belt by surveillance cameras, your driver's license will be deducted 2 points and fined 200 yuan. This is a nationwide regulation, and the electronic eye automatic recognition system can accurately capture violations, including whether the driver is wearing a seat belt. Some places have additional penalties, such as higher risks on highways. The key is not just the points deduction; seat belts prevent collision injuries and avoid secondary injuries in accidents. Developing the habit of buckling up as soon as you get in the car can avoid fines and save lives. Nowadays, the coverage rate of cameras is high, and they are installed at traffic lights in cities, so don't take chances. According to the data I checked, the 2023 regulations are even stricter, with accumulated multiple violations leading to more points deducted or even license revocation.
I've been driving for over a decade and only encountered this issue last year. Driving in the city without wearing a seatbelt, I got caught by the camera straight on - 2 points deducted and a 200 yuan fine. Those electronic eyes are super sensitive, specifically targeting the driver's seat. The points deduction isn't much, but the real hassle is it goes on your record - accumulate 12 points and you'll have to retake the driving test. Buckling up should be automatic when you get in the car, make it a habit and you're good. Plus, too many tickets can bump up your insurance rates and might even hold up your annual inspection. I know a friend who got so used to not wearing it that he accumulated enough points for a three-month driving suspension. With heavy traffic nowadays and surveillance everywhere, it's the same whether you're on the highway or in the city. Sincerely advising everyone: buckle up, don't wait for that ticket to regret. Money and points are minor compared to safety.
