Not wearing a seatbelt on urban roads results in a fine and a deduction of 2 points. Here are the relevant details: 1. Urban expressways: Refers to urban roads with a central divider, four or more lanes, partially or fully equipped with grade-separated interchanges and controlled access, designed for higher-speed vehicle travel; Passengers not wearing seatbelts as required while the vehicle is in motion will be fined. 2. While the vehicle is in motion: Passengers not wearing seatbelts as required will be fined, including those in the front passenger seat not wearing a seatbelt, traffic police can impose fines on the passengers. For vehicles traveling on urban roads with speed limits below 50 km/h, if passengers are not wearing seatbelts as required but correct the behavior immediately after being pointed out, they will receive a verbal warning.
Not wearing a seatbelt on urban roads can lead to hefty penalties. I remember last summer when I was driving in the city without my seatbelt on, a traffic officer pulled me over and fined me 200 yuan plus 2 demerit points. Honestly, that lesson really taught me a thing or two—now I buckle up as soon as I get in the car, and I remind my friends and family to do the same. The fine might seem minor, but safety comes first. Statistics show that in urban accidents, the risk of injury significantly increases for those not wearing seatbelts; passengers without seatbelts can also be fined 50 to 100 yuan. Developing this good habit saves trouble and could save lives.
Driving in the city without wearing a seatbelt will definitely result in a fine. According to the law, the driver will be penalized with 2 demerit points and a fine of around 200 yuan; passengers may also be fined 50 yuan. Here's the key point: it's not just about the money, it's a fundamental safety issue. I've seen too many accident videos where seatbelts distribute the impact force and can truly save lives. It's advisable to develop the habit of checking instinctively before getting in the car, especially for short trips—don't slack off.
