Will I Be Photographed for Not Wearing a Seatbelt at a Traffic Light Intersection?
2 Answers
Yes. If you pass through an intersection or wait at a traffic light without wearing a seatbelt, you may be photographed and recorded. Below is relevant information about seatbelts: Introduction: A seatbelt is a safety device used in equipment, such as aircraft or during high-altitude work and performances, to ensure safety. The main materials used are polyester, polypropylene, and nylon. A seatbelt does not only refer to the webbing; besides the webbing, it also includes other components assembled together. "Seatbelt" has become a primary consideration for drivers and passengers and is one of the most important features of vehicles. Traditional components ensuring safe driving, such as rearview mirrors and side mirrors (traditional rearview systems), safety, AIRBAG (airbags), and ABS (anti-lock braking systems), are already familiar to most drivers and passengers and are commonly used in imported luxury cars. Regulations: When a motor vehicle is in motion, the driver and passengers must use seatbelts as required. If the driver fails to use a seatbelt as required, the driver will be fined; if a passenger fails to use a seatbelt as required, the passenger will be fined; if the driver of a commercial motor vehicle fails to display seatbelt usage prompts or verbally remind passengers, the driver will also be fined. Legal Basis: Article 51 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China" states that when a motor vehicle is in motion, the driver and passengers must use seatbelts as required, and motorcycle drivers and passengers must wear safety helmets as required.
Oh, I've been driving in the city for over twenty years and have encountered many similar situations. Traffic light intersections are indeed equipped with high-definition cameras specifically designed to capture red-light running or other violations, including not wearing a seatbelt. Last time, a friend of mine passed through a large intersection without buckling up and got caught by the electronic eye, later receiving a ticket and penalty points. These cameras are very smart and can clearly capture details inside and outside the car, so not wearing a seatbelt is easily spotted. More importantly, not wearing a seatbelt is extremely dangerous at any intersection—in case of sudden braking or a rear-end collision, you could be thrown out and injured. I always make it a habit to buckle up as soon as I get in the car, not just to avoid fines, but most importantly to protect myself. Safety comes first when driving—don’t underestimate this small action.
