Will holding a child in the front passenger seat be penalized if caught on surveillance?
1 Answers
Holding a child in the front passenger seat and being caught on surveillance does not result in point deduction, but it is considered a traffic violation, warranting a warning or a fine. Holding a child in the front passenger seat without fastening the seatbelt: Firstly, not wearing a seatbelt will incur a fine without point deduction, and holding a child will also result in a fine. However, if the driver holds a child, they will be fined and receive 2 penalty points. Dangers of holding a child in the front passenger seat: If a parent holds a child in the front passenger seat, in the event of the airbag deploying, it can cause dislocation of the child's head and neck, or even death. If the airbag does not deploy, the child is highly likely to hit the dashboard or windshield.
