How many points will be deducted for not wearing a seatbelt in the front passenger seat on the highway?
1 Answers
The front passenger not wearing a seatbelt will not result in point deductions but may incur a fine. Only the driver will be penalized with a 2-point deduction and a 200-yuan fine if they do not wear a seatbelt while driving on highways or urban expressways. Below is relevant information about seatbelt usage: 1. Passenger safety protection: Seatbelts prevent drivers and passengers from being thrown out of the vehicle and mitigate the effects of deceleration during a collision, reducing secondary impacts with the steering wheel, dashboard, windshield, etc. Therefore, drivers must wear seatbelts, as failing to do so poses significant risks to passenger safety. 2. Reducing accident hazards: Seatbelts also play a crucial role in lowering the risks of accidents. In a potentially fatal crash, wearing a seatbelt increases the survival rate by 60%. During a frontal collision, seatbelts reduce fatalities by 57%; in side collisions, fatalities decrease by 44%; and in rollover accidents, fatalities are reduced by 80%. Thus, it is highly necessary for the front passenger to wear a seatbelt.
