Is it penalized to lie down and sleep in the back seat?

[OLeonardo]

According to the records of the "Traffic Safety Law," lying down to sleep in the back seat is not explicitly defined as an illegal act. However, reclining the back seat to use it as a bed during driving poses certain safety hazards, and it is not recommended. If traffic police discover such behavior, they may consider it dangerous driving and impose penalties. Relevant information is as follows: 1. Regulations: Lying down to sleep in the back seat is not explicitly prohibited by the "Road Traffic Safety Law Implementation Regulations" in China. Strictly speaking, this is not an illegal act. Moreover, most cities only require the driver and front passenger to wear seat belts, and there are no penalties for not wearing seat belts in the back seat. 2. Usage: It is acceptable to reasonably utilize the back seat space. However, reclining the back seat to lie down and sleep or play is relatively dangerous. While it may not be a significant issue on sparsely populated roads, it is best to avoid such behavior in urban areas due to safety concerns.
