1 Answers
Not wearing a seatbelt in the front passenger seat on the highway will result in a fine. Traffic police officers on duty can impose fines on passengers who do not wear seatbelts in the front passenger seat. According to the Road Traffic Safety Law, passengers in the front passenger seat must also wear seatbelts while the vehicle is in motion. For their own safety, both drivers and passengers should use seatbelts. Proper seatbelt usage guidelines: 1. Regularly check the technical condition of the seatbelt, and replace it promptly if damaged; 2. The seatbelt should be worn as low as possible over the hips and across the chest, forming a horizontally placed V-shape over the pelvis and ribcage. The seat back should not be too reclined, and the seatbelt should only be used by one person and not twisted; 3. When using the seatbelt, avoid placing it over hard or fragile objects to prevent damage or injury in case of force. Also, ensure the buckle is properly fastened, otherwise it will not provide protection during emergency braking.
