Will You Be Fined for Having a Child in the Front Passenger Seat?
1 Answers
Traffic regulations do not specify penalties for children sitting in the front passenger seat. However, some local regulations impose fines ranging from five to thirty yuan on passengers. During actual driving, traffic police indeed discourage children under 12 years of age (or under 1.4 meters tall) from sitting in the front passenger seat. Additional information: When driving a motor vehicle on the road, minors under 12 years of age should not be placed in the front passenger seat. Although minors aged 12 and above can sit in the front passenger seat, it is advisable to use a child safety seat for added safety. Additionally, pregnant women should avoid sitting in the front passenger seat. Due to their body shape, seat belts are not designed with pregnant women in mind, so to minimize unnecessary harm, it is best not to sit in the front passenger seat.
