Is Not Wearing a Seat Belt Illegal?
1 Answers
Not wearing a seat belt is illegal and violates the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China." Article 51 stipulates: When a motor vehicle is in motion, the driver and passengers must use seat belts as required, and motorcycle drivers and passengers must wear safety helmets as required. The traffic law's requirements for passenger seat belts: 1. When a vehicle is traveling on a highway, passengers who do not wear seat belts as required will be fined. 2. When a motor vehicle is in motion, passengers who do not use seat belts as required will be fined. 3. When driving a motor vehicle on urban roads with speed limits below 50 km/h, passengers who do not wear seat belts as required will be given an oral warning if they correct the behavior immediately after being pointed out.
