Will points be deducted if a child stands through the car sunroof?

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.
