Vehicles are left-hand drive with right-hand traffic, placing the front passenger seat on the right side. In the event of danger, the driver instinctively maneuvers to protect themselves first, often resulting in the front passenger seat bearing the brunt of the impact, leading to injuries for the passenger. The consequences of not wearing a seatbelt in the front passenger seat include fines and even penalty points, depending on two scenarios. One is failing to wear a seatbelt while driving on highways, and the other is not wearing a seatbelt while traveling on urban roads. Both scenarios incur fines, with additional penalty points for urban expressways. The specific fine amounts may vary depending on the circumstances. Holding a child in the front passenger seat is unsafe. During sudden braking or collisions, passengers lose control, making it difficult for an adult to hold onto the child securely. As a result, the child may be thrown forward by inertia, potentially hitting the windshield or even being ejected from the vehicle. During a severe collision, the airbag deploys instantly with tremendous force. Experiments have shown that if a passenger has their legs propped up on the dashboard when the airbag deploys, the force can be strong enough to break both legs, with the knees potentially fracturing backward at a 90-degree angle. This demonstrates why the front passenger seat is highly dangerous.
