New traffic regulations impose penalty points and fines for not wearing seat belts in the front passenger seat. The fine amount varies under different circumstances. The reasons for penalty points are as follows: Reasons for penalty points: Basis: Article 51 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China" states that when a motor vehicle is in motion, the driver and passengers must use seat belts as required, and motorcycle drivers and passengers must wear safety helmets as required. Article 90 stipulates that if a motor vehicle driver violates the road traffic safety laws and regulations regarding road traffic rules, they shall be given a warning or fined not less than 20 yuan but not more than 200 yuan. If there are other provisions in this law, the punishment shall be imposed in accordance with those provisions. Different circumstances: When driving on urban expressways, if the driver does not use a seat belt as required, they will be fined 50 yuan and receive 2 penalty points; when driving on roads other than highways or urban expressways, if the driver does not use a seat belt as required, they will be fined 50 yuan but receive no penalty points; when a motor vehicle is in motion, if a passenger does not use a seat belt as required, they will be fined 5 yuan.
