How to Deal with Not Wearing a Seat Belt?

On urban expressways, if the driver fails to use the seat belt as required, they will be fined and deducted 2 points. On roads other than urban expressways, if the driver fails to use the seat belt as required, they will be fined but no points will be deducted. If the driver fails to use the seat belt as required, they will be fined and deducted 2 points. When the vehicle is on the highway, passengers who do not fasten their seat belts as required will be fined. If a passenger fails to use the seat belt as required but corrects the behavior immediately after being pointed out, they will receive a verbal warning.

Last time I was driving, I forgot to fasten my seatbelt, and the warning alarm suddenly went off in the car, which made me realize my mistake. I immediately pulled over to a safe area, fastened my seatbelt, and then continued driving. Since then, I’ve developed a habit: the first thing I do when I sit in the driver’s seat is to pull the seatbelt tight and make sure the buckle clicks into place. Don’t underestimate this simple action—it can protect your chest and head during sudden braking or collisions, reducing the probability of serious injury by up to 70%. I recommend stopping the car before getting in and taking a few seconds to check; if you’re with someone else, remind each other by asking, 'Is your seatbelt on?' Developing this daily habit can prevent accidents and make driving much safer.

After years of driving, I know that seat belts are the most fundamental safety guarantee. Dealing with forgetting to fasten them must be timely: before driving, first check if they are fastened; if you hear the alarm or see the warning light while driving, immediately find a safe place to stop and fasten them. Seat belts can absorb impact forces, preventing people from being thrown out or hitting the dashboard. I educate my family to fasten them as soon as they get in the car, without considering it a hassle; if the buckle is broken, repair or replace it. Once this small habit is formed, it becomes as natural as drinking water, without waiting for a reminder. Remember, driving without a seat belt is a huge risk, and handling it promptly is the wisdom of an experienced driver.

The first thing I do every time I get in a car is fasten the seat belt. If not fastened, here's a simple way to handle it: After sitting firmly in position, immediately pull the belt and insert it into the buckle, ensuring it's secure. If you forget before driving, don't start the car—fasten it first and then go. Teach children from a young age to get into the habit, and remind family members by asking 'Is the seat belt fastened?' when getting in the car. Making this a habit, as natural as washing hands before eating, can reduce injuries in the event of an accident. Don't wait until you're on the road to do it—small actions ensure great safety.

I've experienced the car sensor alerting me about an unfastened seatbelt and immediately pulled over to address it: stopping or pausing my actions to buckle up upon hearing the beeping sound. If it's an issue with the buckle, check if it's stuck or damaged; simply replacing it with a new accessory will do. Most modern cars come with reminder systems, but developing the habit of fastening your seatbelt as soon as you get in the car is more reliable than relying on alerts. Seatbelts lock your body in place during a collision—technology is there to assist, but timely human action ensures safety. Keeping this in mind makes driving more worry-free.

Not wearing a seatbelt is not just a personal risk, but may also result in fines and affect your record. When driving for work, I make it a habit to check if everyone has buckled up before starting the car. Here’s how to handle it: Develop a ritual of buckling up immediately upon entering the car; politely remind others if they haven’t fastened theirs; make a quick stop before driving to confirm. The fatality and injury rates in accidents involving unbelted occupants increase significantly. As a vehicle owner, I have a responsibility to lead by example. Promoting this safety awareness can make every trip safer and more reliable. Buckle up promptly—it’s a small act that can save lives.
