What is the penalty for having two people in the front passenger seat?
1 Answers
Having two people in the front passenger seat is considered overloading, and if caught by traffic police, it will result in corresponding fines and penalty points. Precautions for sitting in the front passenger seat are as follows: 1. Proper use of seat belts: Generally, the front passenger seat is more comfortable, spacious, and offers a view of the scenery ahead. Therefore, passengers sitting in the front seat tend to be more relaxed. For example, reclining the seat back too low, almost turning it into a lounge chair, while still wearing a seat belt is equivalent to tying a noose around oneself. In case of an emergency, sudden braking can cause the passenger to lunge forward due to inertia, and the seat belt can easily strangle the passenger's neck, potentially causing severe injury. 2. Pay attention to sitting posture: While enjoying the comfort of the front passenger seat, it is crucial to maintain a proper sitting posture. This ensures that the seat belt and airbag can function effectively in case of danger. Some passengers in the front seat recline halfway, place their feet on the dashboard, or even press against the windshield, which is extremely dangerous. A sudden brake could shatter the windshield or eject the passenger. 3. Avoid letting children sit in the front passenger seat: If a child must sit in the front, ensure the seat belt is properly fastened and adjusted to the correct length. Additionally, if the front passenger seat has an AirBag, make sure to lock it to prevent injury to the child in case of an emergency.
