If a passenger does not wear a seat belt and violates the traffic rules, no points will be deducted, but a fine will be imposed. If the violation is captured by an electronic eye or traffic police, the violation information will be sent to the driver's mobile phone or displayed on the traffic management APP linked to the driver. If the violation is discovered on-site by the traffic police, a direct fine will be issued. Seat belts are designed to protect both passengers and the driver in case of danger during driving. Therefore, the first thing to do after getting into the car is to fasten the seat belt, especially for the driver, who should promptly remind passengers to buckle up. Legal basis: Article 90 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China" states that if a motor vehicle driver violates the road traffic safety laws and regulations regarding road traffic rules, a warning or a fine will be imposed. If there are other provisions in this law, the punishment shall be carried out according to those provisions. Passengers not wearing seat belts is also considered a violation by the driver. To encourage both drivers and passengers to use seat belts, it is stipulated that if a driver does not wear a seat belt as required while driving on highways or urban expressways, 2 points will be deducted for each violation. If a taxi passenger does not wear a seat belt and the driver fails to remind them or there is no prompt in the vehicle, the taxi driver will also face point deductions and penalties.
I've been driving for many years, and it's not uncommon to see passengers not wearing seat belts, which is a violation. If caught by traffic police on the spot, the driver is usually held responsible, with fines ranging from fifty to two hundred yuan, and possibly one or two penalty points deducted. The process involves promptly paying the fine at the traffic management department or through the 12123 APP—don't delay, as late fees can double. I always remind passengers to buckle up as soon as they get in the car, especially on highways, where the fatality rate in accidents skyrockets without seat belts. Once safety habits are formed, the chance of violations drops significantly. The handling process is simple: bring your driver's license and vehicle registration to the counter or complete it online—it takes just a few minutes. In the end, safety comes first; don't let small things lead to big disasters.
I once got fined for forgetting to fasten my seatbelt while drowsy in the car. On the spot, traffic police will educate you, and if it's more serious, they'll issue a ticket, fining either the passenger or the driver about 50 yuan. The handling method is quite convenient—you can pay by scanning a QR code or queue up at the traffic management office, but never try to evade it, or the next check will be even stricter. I remember after that fine, I quickly downloaded the traffic management app for self-service processing, saving time and hassle. Safety is something you really can't be careless about; not wearing a seatbelt during a sudden brake can easily lead to hitting the windshield and getting injured. Now, when I ride with friends, we always remind each other to buckle up, forming a habit to avoid fines and protect our lives. Handling traffic violations isn’t complicated—once you pay the fine, it's over.
