Will driving in a vest result in penalty points?
1 Answers
Driving in a vest is not explicitly prohibited by law and generally does not constitute a violation. However, drivers must not be shirtless or wear slippers or high heels while operating a vehicle. Below are some important driving precautions: Avoid wearing chest accessories while driving: During sudden braking, the body is thrust forward by inertia, and the seatbelt exerts significant pressure on the body. If there are large, hard accessories on the chest, they can cause severe injuries such as sternum fractures. Slow down and look both ways at intersections: Develop the habit of slowing down and checking left and right when approaching intersections. Observe the traffic conditions on the cross lanes and proceed only when it is safe. Maintaining a calm and composed mindset while driving is crucial—anticipate situations in advance and handle emergencies with composure. Slow down and check carefully when turning: Whether in urban or rural areas, always slow down when turning. Make it a habit to reduce speed further and check the bicycle lanes and pedestrian walkways. Yield to electric bikes in bicycle lanes and pedestrians on walkways. When making a right turn in the city, give way to pedestrians and electric bikes, ensuring no unexpected incidents before proceeding slowly. Maintain a safe following distance: Many traffic accidents are directly related to unsafe following distances. Always pay attention to the distance between vehicles while driving. Reduce speed and use the horn as a warning when turning or in crowded areas.
