Is it necessary for the passenger seat to fasten the seat belt?
2 Answers
The passenger seat must fasten the seat belt. Below are the specific details about not fastening the seat belt in the passenger seat of a motor vehicle: 1. Driving on highways: If the driver does not use the seat belt as required, a fine will be imposed, and 2 points will be deducted. 2. Driving on urban expressways: If the driver does not use the seat belt as required, a fine will be imposed, and 2 points will be deducted. 3. Vehicles traveling on highways: If passengers do not fasten the seat belt as required, a fine will be imposed. 4. Driving on roads other than highways or urban expressways: If the driver does not use the seat belt as required, a fine will be imposed, but no points will be deducted. 5. Driving on urban roads with speed limits below 50 kilometers per hour: If passengers do not use the seat belt as required, an oral warning will be given.
I've been driving for almost ten years and I know very well that the passenger must wear a seatbelt—it's no trivial matter. Seatbelts protect you during accidents, preventing you from hitting the windshield or being thrown out of the car, thereby reducing severe injuries. Once, a friend of mine didn’t buckle up while riding shotgun on the highway when sudden traffic ahead forced me to brake hard—he nearly got seriously hurt. Since then, he’s made it a habit to fasten his seatbelt and feels much safer. The seatbelt works by tightening and locking to absorb impact energy, especially crucial for the front passenger seat, which faces the highest risk. My advice is to make buckling up the first thing you do when getting in the car—don’t save those few seconds, as safety outweighs everything. Developing this habit also fosters safety awareness, showing responsibility for yourself and your family—don’t wait until an accident happens to regret it. Similarly, rear passengers should also buckle up; don’t assume only the front seats matter—regulations cover all seats.
