What kind of camera captures seat belt violations?
2 Answers
Electronic surveillance cameras are usually installed at traffic lights, which can record vehicles passing through or waiting at intersections without seat belts fastened. Here is additional information: High-definition checkpoint: Currently, there are no cameras specifically designed to capture seat belt violations. The cameras capable of recording unfastened seat belts are called high-definition checkpoints. These cameras are typically installed on national highways, provincial roads, and expressways to capture speeding and other violations. They can take frontal shots, allowing for clear visibility of the driver's face and whether the seat belt is fastened. Penalties for not wearing a seat belt: When driving on roads other than expressways or urban express roads, if the driver fails to fasten the seat belt as required, a fine will be imposed without penalty points. When driving on expressways, if the driver fails to fasten the seat belt as required, a fine will be imposed along with a deduction of 2 points. When a vehicle is traveling on an expressway, if a passenger fails to fasten the seat belt as required, a fine will be imposed. When driving on urban roads with speed limits below 50 km/h, if a passenger fails to use the seat belt as required and corrects the behavior immediately after being pointed out, an oral warning will be issued.
Now when I drive long distances, I pay special attention to these monitoring devices. The cameras mounted on the gantries at highway entrances and exits are particularly keen on capturing seatbelt violations. These cameras are positioned high up, and they flash to take photos as soon as you pass by, not only measuring speed but also catching those not wearing seatbelts. Additionally, the electronic police at urban main road intersections are experts too—those square box-like devices with flashlights are the most common. They activate as soon as the light turns red, specifically targeting drivers not wearing seatbelts. In fact, many checkpoints on national and provincial highways also have this function—don’t assume rural areas are unmonitored. Once, I got caught near a highway service area. Now, I buckle up as soon as I get in the car—it’s the easiest habit to avoid unnecessary fines and points.
