Passengers not wearing seat belts will be fined 50 yuan for the violation. The following are relevant introductions about not wearing seat belts: 1. Penalty for driving on urban expressways: When driving on urban expressways, if the driver does not wear a seat belt as required, a fine of 50 yuan will be imposed and 2 points will be deducted. 2. Penalty for driving on ordinary roads: When driving on roads other than expressways or urban expressways, if the driver does not wear a seat belt as required, a fine of 50 yuan will be imposed without deducting driving points. 3. Penalty for driving on expressways: When a vehicle is driving on an expressway, if the passenger does not wear a seat belt as required, a fine of 20 yuan will be imposed; for vehicles driving on urban roads with a speed limit below 50 kilometers per hour, if the passenger does not wear a seat belt as required but corrects the behavior immediately after being pointed out, a verbal warning will be issued.
Last time during a self-drive trip, my friend in the back seat was caught not wearing a seatbelt, but the process was actually quite quick. The traffic police will send a text message to the car owner, and the violation record can be checked on the Traffic Management 12123 APP. It must be handled promptly, otherwise it will affect the vehicle's annual inspection. Although the driver is not responsible, the car owner will be fined, usually between 50 to 200 yuan, with standards varying by region. It's advisable to remind each other before traveling, especially as back seat passengers often overlook this. It's best to place a visible safety reminder sticker in the car, and be extra cautious on highways. The fine is minor, but safety comes first—I once avoided an accident during rainy weather thanks to the seatbelt.
I often drive my kids to school and worry most about rear passengers not wearing seat belts. There are two types of penalty handling: if caught by electronic surveillance, the system automatically records and fines the vehicle owner directly; if stopped by traffic police, the passenger will be fined. First-time offenders usually receive a warning or a 50 yuan fine, with potential doubling for repeat violations. I recommend installing a seat belt reminder - the beeping sound is most effective. When handling penalties, remember to bring your ID and ticket to the traffic management office, though some cities allow online processing. A reminder to parents: always use proper child seats for kids, never make do with adult seat belts.
