Will the Passenger Seat Be Captured If Not Wearing a Seat Belt?

Passengers not wearing seat belts can be captured by traffic cameras. The correct way to fasten the seat belt in the passenger seat is as follows: 1. First, sit in the passenger seat and lean back against the seat; 2. Locate the seat belt on the right door pillar, and with your right hand, grasp the belt about 20 cm above the metal buckle; 3. Move the belt with your right hand over to your left thigh; 4. Hold the metal buckle with your left hand, then release and re-grasp the belt with your right hand; 5. Move both hands simultaneously towards the buckle slot located at the left rear of the seat, press the buckle into the slot until you hear a click. The seat belt is a safety device in vehicles designed to reduce passenger and driver injuries in the event of a severe collision. During a traffic accident, the seat belt secures and cushions the occupant, preventing secondary injuries.
I specialize in intelligent transportation systems, and it's true that passengers not wearing seatbelts in the front seat will be captured by electronic surveillance. Over 90% of urban intersections have been upgraded with AI recognition cameras, which can even clearly detect unbelted passengers in the back seats. Last month, while processing data, I found that a single city recorded 3,721 cases of front-seat passengers not wearing seatbelts in just one day. After capture, facial recognition is used for secondary verification, with an accuracy rate as high as 99%. A reminder: this violation results in a 1-point deduction and a fine of 50-200 yuan. More critically, in accidents, the fatality rate for unbelted front-seat passengers increases threefold, and airbags can even become dangerous. It's advisable to develop the habit of reminding each other to buckle up as soon as you get in the car.
Last time I was on the highway, I chatted with traffic police officer Lao Zhang about this. The enforcement of passenger seat belt monitoring is much stricter now compared to previous years. On regular roads, occasional misses might happen, but at key locations like highway toll stations and service area exits, they catch almost every violation. The enforcement standard is clear: as long as the vehicle is moving, not wearing a seatbelt in the passenger seat is definitely illegal. A special reminder for parents with children: children under 12 sitting in the front passenger seat will result in an immediate 6-point deduction and a 300-yuan fine, not to mention letting a child sit alone in the front. I always keep cartoon-style seatbelt shoulder pads in my car, and kids who ride with me love wearing them.
Personal experience tells you: You will definitely get caught! At the beginning of the year, I took my mom to the hospital. She secretly unfastened her seatbelt because it was pressing on her stomach, and three days later, we received a fine. The current fourth-generation electronic cameras come with infrared night vision and can clearly capture the status of seatbelt buckles even at night. It is recommended to opt for the seatbelt reminder function when purchasing a car—the beeping sound is more effective than fines. Passengers with back pain can use a lumbar support, but never use a fake buckle to deceive the detector. If caught, it will be treated as tampering with traffic control equipment.
