Not wearing a seatbelt in the front passenger seat on the highway does not result in point deduction but incurs an appropriate fine. According to the Road Traffic Safety Law, when a motor vehicle is in motion, passengers in the front seat should also use seatbelts. Relevant details are as follows: Article 51 of the 'Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China' stipulates: When a motor vehicle is in motion, the driver and passengers must use seatbelts as required, and motorcycle drivers and passengers must wear safety helmets as required. Article 89 stipulates: Pedestrians, passengers, and non-motor vehicle drivers who violate road traffic safety laws and regulations regarding road passage rules shall be given a warning or fined; non-motor vehicle drivers who refuse to accept the fine may have their non-motor vehicles detained. Correct way to fasten a seatbelt: Hold the buckle lock and latch, slowly pull out the waist and shoulder belt, ensuring the shoulder belt passes over the shoulder and fits close to the neck, snugly and comfortably against the body. Ensure the waist belt is below the abdomen and as low as possible, also fitting snugly against the body. Finally, insert the belt buckle into the lock. Both the driver and the front passenger must wear seatbelts, not only for safety reasons but also to avoid penalties from traffic police for violations.
