Points will be deducted if a child stands through the car sunroof, usually 2 points and a fine. It is recommended not to let children stand through the sunroof while driving, as it is not only illegal but also very dangerous, posing a risk to personal safety. Below are the functions of a panoramic sunroof: Air circulation: It can be used to quickly circulate fresh air and remove stale air from the car. When the car is not in use, it is usually parked in a closed state. Over time, some decorations and devices inside the car will start releasing toxic substances. Opening the sunroof after using the car allows for air circulation between the inside and outside, making the entire driving experience start smoothly. Rapid cooling: August is the hottest time of the year. After being parked under the sun for several hours, the temperature inside the car can rise to unbearable levels. In summer, when you first enter the car, it can feel extremely stuffy. Even with the air conditioning on, it takes a long time for the heat to dissipate. Opening the panoramic sunroof cools the car faster.

As a parent, it always breaks my heart to see people letting their kids stand through the sunroof of a car—this is absolutely a traffic violation that incurs penalty points. I remember last year a neighbor in our community did this and got pulled over by traffic police on the spot, fined, and had 2 points deducted from their license. Traffic regulations clearly state that passengers must not extend any part of their body out of the sunroof while the vehicle is in motion; otherwise, it’s considered dangerous behavior, punishable not only by point deductions but also fines exceeding 200 RMB. From a safety perspective, it’s even more critical—in case of an accident or sudden braking, the child could be thrown out and injured, and the sunroof glass might shatter, causing harm. I always advise friends not to take such risks just for shooting short videos—proper child safety seats are the way to go. Opening the sunroof for ventilation is fine, but standing through it? Absolutely not. Cultivating good habits and teaching kids to buckle up or sit securely in the back seat is far better than dealing with penalty points and regrets later.

Having driven for over a decade, I've seen plenty of similar incidents. Letting kids stand through the sunroof definitely warrants penalty points. According to traffic regulations, this behavior violates safety rules and typically results in a 2-point deduction plus a fine. I once helped a friend handle a traffic ticket for this exact violation - the penalty and point deduction caused him considerable trouble. Sunroofs aren't designed for passengers to stand through. At high speeds, the wind force makes it unstable for children, and distracted driving increases accident risks. Accumulated penalty points affect your license - hit 12 points and you'll need to retake the test. My advice: parents should lock the sunroof controls to prevent kids from playing with it. Keeping activities inside the vehicle is much safer. Bottom line: follow the rules to avoid headaches and stay safe.

I just got my driver's license not long ago when I was younger, and I heard this might lead to point deductions so I didn't dare to try. Someone in my friend circle posted a photo of their kid standing through the sunroof, and they were directly warned by traffic police that it could result in a 1-2 point deduction. Of course, breaking the rules leads to point deductions because it's too dangerous—regulations have to manage this. Opening the window occasionally for short trips is fine, but standing up through it? What if they fall? How terrifying! Safety first—control your kids and don't take risks to avoid losing points and getting fined.
