When a motor vehicle is in motion, passengers who fail to use seatbelts as required will be fined; drivers who fail to use seatbelts as required will be fined and receive penalty points. When driving on highways, passengers who fail to wear seatbelts as required will be fined; drivers who fail to use seatbelts as required will be fined and receive penalty points. When driving a motor vehicle on urban roads with speed limits below 50 km/h, if a passenger fails to use a seatbelt as required but corrects the behavior immediately upon being pointed out, an oral warning will be issued. To encourage drivers to use seatbelts, when driving on highways or urban roads, drivers who fail to wear seatbelts as required will receive 2 penalty points for each violation.
When I first bought my car, I didn't pay much attention to whether the passenger fastened their seatbelt. Then one time, I was pulled over by traffic police, fined 200 yuan, and had 1 point deducted from my license. Since then, I always remind friends or family sitting in the passenger seat to buckle up, especially on long trips. If an accident happens without wearing a seatbelt, the consequences can be severe. A fine is minor compared to the importance of saving lives. It's crucial for everyone to develop good habits to avoid such troubles.
During my duty, I often encounter violations where the front passenger doesn't wear a seatbelt. I usually give a verbal warning first, then issue a ticket. The fine is generally around 200 yuan, and in some areas, it may also deduct 1 point from the driver's license. Safety is no joke. Not wearing a seatbelt in a car accident can easily lead to injuries or fatalities. I recommend everyone proactively remind front passengers to follow the rules.
I drove my buddy out for fun, but he kept being lazy and not wearing his seatbelt. Once, he got caught by the police and was fined about a hundred bucks, which ruined his mood for the whole day. Now, as soon as I get in the car, I yell at him to buckle up and not cause trouble. The fine is one thing, but what I'm really afraid of is an accident. When it comes to safety, even the smallest things shouldn't be taken lightly.
