Will points be deducted if the passenger sleeps in the co-pilot seat?
1 Answers
As long as the passenger in the co-pilot seat fastens the seat belt, sleeping is not a violation of the law, and no points will be deducted. Relevant information is as follows: 1. Regulations: Traffic regulations do not specify whether the passenger in the co-pilot seat can lie flat. Strictly speaking, there are no explicit requirements in the entire traffic regulations regarding how the passenger in the co-pilot seat should sit. The reason why lying flat is considered unsafe is that even if the seat belt is fastened, due to the seat being reclined, the lower part of the waist fixed by the seat belt cannot bear force normally, and the upper part that originally crosses the chest diagonally is also suspended, altering both force-bearing points of the seat belt. 2. Note: It is important to note that whether it is the driver or the passenger in the co-pilot seat, wearing a seat belt is necessary for ensuring personal safety. In the event of a vehicle collision, there will be significant inertia, and the seat belt can counteract this inertia, thereby protecting the human body from impact.
