What are the penalties for driving without wearing a seat belt?
1 Answers
On highways or expressways, a fine will be imposed with 2 demerit points deducted, while on roads other than highways or expressways, only a fine will be imposed without any demerit points. Below are the relevant details: 1. Urban areas: For driving a motor vehicle on roads with speed limits below 50 km/h, if the passenger fails to use the seat belt as required and corrects immediately after being pointed out, a verbal warning will be issued. 2. Highways: In the event of an emergency brake due to unexpected circumstances, proper use of the seat belt can secure the driver and passengers in their seats, avoiding or reducing collision injuries. To encourage drivers to use seat belts, it is stipulated that if a driver fails to fasten the seat belt as required while driving on highways or urban expressways, 2 demerit points will be deducted for each offense.
