Drivers who do not wear a seat belt will be deducted two points. The penalties and hazards of not wearing a seat belt are as follows: Penalties for not wearing a seat belt: When driving on urban expressways, if the driver does not use a seat belt as required, two points will be deducted. When driving on roads other than highways or urban expressways, if the driver does not use a seat belt as required, no points will be deducted. When a motor vehicle is in motion, if passengers do not use seat belts as required, they may face fines, etc. Hazards of not wearing a seat belt: In the event of a vehicle accident or emergency braking, a huge inertial force will be generated. Depending on the driving speed and the severity of the impact, this inertial force varies. The inertial force causes the driver and passengers to collide with objects inside the vehicle, such as the steering wheel, windshield, seat backrest, and doors, which can easily cause serious injuries to the occupants, or even eject them from their seats or out of the vehicle.

Having driven for over a decade, I've seen plenty of troubles caused by drivers forgetting to buckle up. The most straightforward penalty is a fine, ranging from 150 to 500 yuan depending on the city—like in Beijing where it starts at 300 yuan plus a 2-point deduction from the driver's license. Once on the highway, I saw a rookie pulled over by traffic police for not wearing a seatbelt, fined and warned. The real issue is the high safety risk: statistics show that not wearing a seatbelt in an accident triples the chance of death and more than doubles medical costs. Forming the habit is simple—just buckle up as soon as you get in the car, taking only two seconds. Over time, with more checks on the road, it helps avoid unnecessary trouble, protecting yourself and saving hassle. Don’t underestimate this—safety first is always right.

Is Wheel Alignment Necessary for Uneven Tire Wear?

Tire uneven wear requires wheel alignment. If financial conditions permit, it is best to perform a wheel dynamic balance together. The wheel alignment of a car involves adjusting the suspension parameters. If the wheels exhibit deviation, wheel alignment is necessary. Otherwise, it can hinder turning during driving, posing a significant safety hazard. The following are the functions of car tires: 1. Supporting the entire weight of the vehicle: Car tires support the full weight of the vehicle, bear the load of the car, and transmit forces and moments in other directions. 2. Improving vehicle performance: Car tires transmit traction and braking torque to ensure good adhesion between the wheels and the road surface, enhancing the vehicle's power, braking, and passing capabilities; together with the car suspension, they mitigate impacts during driving and dampen the resulting vibrations. 3. Preventing early damage to vehicle components: Car tires protect vehicle components from severe vibrations and early damage, adapt to the vehicle's high-speed performance, reduce driving noise, and ensure driving safety, handling stability, comfort, and energy efficiency.
