Will Not Wearing a Seat Belt Be Captured and Fined?

Not wearing a seat belt can be captured and fined. Current cameras are high-definition with resolutions at the decimeter level. At a certain distance, they can not only capture the driver's basic condition but also distinguish facial features. Not wearing a seat belt will be clearly recorded. Correct way to use a seat belt: Pick up the latch plate, pull the seat belt across your body, insert the latch plate into the buckle until you hear a "click," then pull the belt to confirm it is locked. Pull the shoulder strap upward to tighten the lap belt (the lap belt should be across the hips, not the abdomen). Check the position of the seat belt and adjust the height adjuster to the appropriate position. Precautions for wearing a seat belt: The seat belt should be worn high and tight, avoiding swinging or collisions. The length of the safety rope should be limited to 1.5–2.0 meters; for ropes longer than 3 meters, a buffer should be added. Do not tie knots in the rope or attach hooks directly to the safety rope; instead, use a connecting ring. Components of the seat belt should be inspected every two years.
I've been driving for over a decade and seen it all. It's true that not wearing a seatbelt is easily caught by cameras and fined. Nowadays, high-tech cameras are installed at urban intersections and highways specifically to detect seatbelt usage. If you're not buckled up, the system automatically recognizes it, takes a photo, and sends it to traffic police. Fines vary by region, typically ranging from 100 to 200 yuan, and may include demerit points in serious cases. I recommend making it a habit to fasten your seatbelt immediately upon entering the car – not just to avoid fines, but more importantly to protect your life. Remember, seatbelts can significantly reduce injury rates during accidents, with data showing they lower fatality rates by over 50%. It might feel unnecessary during normal driving, but in sudden braking or collisions, it can be lifesaving.
