Main roads: Key vehicles, a fine of 200 yuan; 4. Other roads: All vehicles are inspected, front seat violations incur a fine of 200 yuan, back seat violations result in a warning/fine of 200 yuan. Additional information: According to the "Technical Conditions for Safe Operation of Motor Vehicles," all seats in passenger cars, highway buses, special school buses, and motorhomes must be equipped with seat belts. Currently, urban buses with standing seats, some middle seats in freight vehicles, and back seats are not required to have seat belts. As long as the seats meet national standards upon production, they will not be subject to penalties.
Not wearing seat belts in the back seat is indeed unsafe. When I drive, I often encounter friends or family members sitting in the back seat forgetting to buckle up. The first thing I do is find a safe place to slow down and stop, then remind them to fasten their seat belts immediately. Seat belts can protect people during collisions, preventing them from being thrown out and injured. Don’t underestimate this—not wearing a seat belt in the back seat poses a greater risk than in the front. If passengers feel uncomfortable or restrained, explain that this thing can save lives and isn’t just for show. For elderly or children, patiently guide them on how to buckle up properly. Develop a habit: Before every ride, just ask, 'Is everyone’s seat belt on?' to avoid trouble. Don’t forget, in some places, police may check and issue fines—it’s not worth the risk.
