Is It a Violation to Wear a Seat Belt Under the Arm?
1 Answers
Wearing a seat belt under the arm is considered a violation and may result in fines and penalty points. If a passenger in the front seat is not wearing a seat belt and is spotted by traffic police, they will also be penalized. According to the Road Traffic Safety Law, when a motor vehicle is in motion, passengers in the front seat must use seat belts. Failure to wear a seat belt in the front seat will result in a fine. The front passenger seat is the most dangerous position in the vehicle, so even if it were not penalized, wearing a seat belt is essential for personal safety. The standard way to wear a seat belt: Hold the buckle and latch, slowly pull the lap belt across your waist, ensuring the shoulder belt crosses over the shoulder, close to the neck, and fits snugly and comfortably against the body. The lap belt should be positioned below the abdomen and as low as possible, also fitting snugly against the body. Then, insert the buckle into the latch until you hear a click.
