What are the regulations for rear seat seatbelt usage?

[DeLorenzo]

According to Article 51 of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China, both motor vehicle drivers and passengers must wear seatbelts. The regulation applies regardless of whether passengers sit in the front or rear seats - seatbelts must be worn upon entering the vehicle. Additional information: 1. Dangers of not wearing seatbelts in rear seats: The risk factor for not wearing seatbelts in rear seats is comparable to that in front seats. During major accidents, rear passengers not wearing seatbelts is equivalent to suicide. Regardless of whether the front-seat driver or passengers are wearing seatbelts, the safety factor is nearly zero in such cases. 2. Passengers unable to wear seatbelts: For special cases like pregnant women or passengers holding infants who cannot wear seatbelts, traffic police will exercise humane law enforcement during roadside checks, typically issuing warnings before releasing them. For safety, police recommend that pregnant women adjust seatbelt positions for proper fastening. Children under 4 years old should use child safety seats, while children under 12 should not sit in front seats and must wear seatbelts properly.
