Penalties for not wearing a seatbelt in the passenger seat are as follows: 1. If the passenger in the front seat does not wear a seatbelt and is caught by traffic police on duty, they may be fined between 20 and 200 yuan. 2. According to China's Road Traffic Safety Law, when driving a motor vehicle on the road, passengers in the front seat must also use seatbelts. The law has long clearly stipulated that passengers in the front seat must wear seatbelts. The driver will be deducted 2 points for not wearing a seatbelt, while passengers who do not wear seatbelts will not have points deducted but will be fined. Wearing a seatbelt has many benefits: in potentially fatal car accidents, wearing a seatbelt can increase the survival rate of passengers by 60%. In head-on collisions, seatbelts can reduce the mortality rate by 57%. In accidents, if rear passengers who are not wearing seatbelts violently impact the front seats, they can cause significant impact on the driver or front passengers, increasing their mortality rate in the accident by about five times.
