According to the Road Traffic Safety Law, when a motor vehicle is in motion, the passenger in the front seat should also use a seatbelt. The regulation requiring the front-seat passenger to wear a seatbelt was clearly stipulated in the old traffic regulations. Any passenger not wearing a seatbelt in the front seat can be fined by the traffic police on duty. More information from the 'Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China' is as follows: 1. Article 51: When a motor vehicle is in motion, the driver and passengers should use seatbelts as required, and motorcycle drivers and passengers should wear safety helmets as required. 2. Article 90: 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. If there are other provisions in this law, penalties shall be imposed in accordance with those provisions.
