How many points will be deducted for not wearing a seatbelt while driving?
1 Answers
When driving on urban expressways, if the driver fails to use the seatbelt as required, a fine will be imposed and 2 points will be deducted. When driving on roads other than highways or urban expressways, if the driver fails to use the seatbelt as required, a fine will be imposed but no points will be deducted. Hazards of not wearing a seatbelt while driving: Using a seatbelt can increase the survival rate of occupants by 60%. In a frontal collision, wearing a seatbelt can reduce the fatality rate by 57%; in a side collision, it can reduce the fatality rate by 44%; and in a rollover, it can reduce the fatality rate by 80%. In the event of an emergency, seatbelts can minimize accident injuries to the greatest extent. When a high-speed car collides or encounters an unexpected emergency brake, a huge inertial force will be generated, causing the driver and passengers to collide with objects inside the car such as the steering wheel, windshield, seat backrest, and door. This can easily cause injuries to the occupants, or even throw them out of their seats or out of the car. Not wearing a seatbelt can reduce driving concentration and easily lead to safety accidents. At lower speeds, many drivers tend to become complacent, thinking that seatbelts are unnecessary at low speeds.
