Will Placing Items in the Front Passenger Seat Get You Photographed?
3 Answers
Placing a box in the front passenger seat may or may not get you photographed. It's important to note that as long as the items placed on the front passenger seat are not too large, do not obstruct the driver's view, and are not goods you are specifically transporting, then generally, even if photographed, you won't be penalized or fined. Below is relevant information: 1. Relevant laws and regulations: According to Article 62 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law," it is prohibited to hang or place items within the front and rear windows of the vehicle's driving compartment that obstruct the driver's view. 2. Solution: Try to place personal items in the back seat or trunk.
I've been driving for many years, and you really have to be careful about putting things on the passenger seat. Small items like phones or bags are fine, but large objects can obstruct your view. In case of sudden braking, items might fly and cause injury, especially on highways where the risk is higher. Traffic cameras, such as speed cameras, mainly capture speeding or seatbelt violations, but high-definition models can record details on the passenger seat. Placing too many cluttered items might be mistakenly flagged as unsafe or obstructing driving, leading to a ticket. Personally, I prefer storing items in the trunk or glove compartment—safety first and it helps avoid trouble. Sharing this tip with friends, they found it quite useful too.
As someone who pays attention to rules, traffic regulations emphasize that the front passenger must wear a seatbelt, and placing items that obstruct the view or increase the risk of an accident is considered a violation. Camera systems such as intersection surveillance may capture this behavior, leading to fines or penalty points. In practice, placing a small number of fixed items is generally fine, but heavy or unstable objects should be avoided. I often remind myself to check the cleanliness inside the car. More broadly, safe driving not only protects oneself but also avoids causing harm to others. Developing good habits is a wise choice.
