Is it illegal to lie down and sleep in the passenger seat?
1 Answers
It is not considered illegal as there are no explicit regulations prohibiting passengers from reclining their seats and lying down during a journey. However, this behavior is quite dangerous, and passengers are required to wear seat belts. When riding in a motor vehicle, one must not interfere with the driver, extend any part of the body outside the vehicle, or jump out of the vehicle. Relevant information: 1. Regulations: According to Article 77 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China," the following rules must be observed when riding in a motor vehicle: do not hail a vehicle on the roadway; do not get on or off a vehicle from the left side on the roadway. 2. Precautions: Do not open or close doors in a way that obstructs other vehicles or pedestrians; while the vehicle is in motion, do not interfere with the driver, extend any part of the body outside the vehicle, or jump out; when riding a two-wheeled motorcycle, one must sit facing forward.
