"For passengers not wearing seat belts, the violation results in a fine but no points deduction. If captured by traffic cameras or electronic enforcement, the violation notice will be sent to the driver's mobile phone or displayed on the traffic management app linked to the driver. If caught on the spot by traffic police, a direct fine will be imposed. Seat belts are designed to protect both passengers and drivers in case of danger during travel. Therefore, the first thing to do after getting into a vehicle 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 motor vehicle drivers who violate road traffic safety laws and regulations regarding road traffic rules shall be given a warning or fined. If there are other provisions in this law, penalties shall be imposed accordingly. Passengers not wearing seat belts are also considered a violation by the driver. To encourage drivers and passengers to use seat belts, it is stipulated that if a driver fails to wear a seat belt as required while driving on highways or urban expressways, 2 points will be deducted. For taxi passengers not wearing seat belts, if the driver fails to remind them or there is no prompt in the vehicle, the taxi driver will also face point deductions and penalties."
