How many points will be deducted for not wearing the seat belt in the driver's seat in 2021?

In 2021, not wearing a seat belt will result in a deduction of 2 points. Here is the relevant introduction: Danger: As is well known, when a car collides or encounters an unexpected emergency brake, it will generate a huge inertial force, causing the driver and passengers to collide with objects inside the car such as the steering wheel, windshield, and seat backrest, which can easily cause serious injuries to the occupants, or even throw them out of their seats or out of the car. The role of seat belts: Seat belts can restrain the occupants in their seats, preventing secondary collisions, and their cushioning effect can absorb a large amount of kinetic energy, reducing the degree of injury to the occupants.
Last year, I forgot to fasten my seatbelt while driving to work and was pulled over by a traffic officer on the road, resulting in an immediate 2-point deduction and a 100-yuan fine. It was quite embarrassing at the time, but upon reflection, it was indeed my fault. The 2021 traffic regulations clearly state that the driver not wearing a seatbelt will be penalized with a 2-point deduction and a fine ranging from 50 to 200 yuan, depending on local regulations. Since then, I've developed the habit of buckling up as soon as I get in the car to avoid distractions that could lead to accidents. The seatbelt might seem like a small thing, but it can truly save lives at high speeds—without it, sudden braking can easily cause injuries. I recommend placing a reminder tag in your car; over time, it will become second nature. Don’t be as careless as I was back then—points and fines are secondary, safety is what matters most.
