Zhejiang traffic police punish rear-seat passengers for not wearing seat belts on the highway. Is this a new rule?

? At noon today, the Second Brigade of the Hangzhou Detachment of the Jiangsu Expressway Traffic Police launched a rectification operation at the Xiaoshan Toll Station of the Hangzhou-Ningbo Expressway. At highway toll stations, there are many slogans saying "Fasten your seat belts for safety, front and back".

?A brown car was stopped by Officer Gu Xinqiang. There were four people in the car. The two people in the front seat fastened their seat belts, but the two passengers in the back did not fasten their seat belts as required. Officer Gu stepped forward to guide him to pull over and first reminded the passengers in the back, "In case of emergency, we can save people!" Later, he warned the driver: "It is your responsibility to remind them to fasten their seat belts!" Passengers started shouting. Nod and say you won't do it again.

At the exit of the Xiaoshan toll station on the Hangzhou-Ningbo Expressway, the reporter observed within half an hour that all passengers in the back of private cars were not wearing seat belts. A girl, 30 years old, didn't even know how to fasten her seat belt, but she panicked and still didn't fasten her seat belt. Officer Gu shook his head. He is helpless. "Do you feel safe?" In the taxi, a little girl in the back did not fasten her seat belt. The police came to alert her mother.

In contrast, the situation on buses is not much different. Reporters boarded two buses and found that at least 80% of the passengers were wearing seat belts.

During the entire process, the driver and front-seat passengers basically fastened their seat belts as required, but many rear-seat passengers have not yet formed this habit. "Based on past duty experience, at least 70% of people are not in the back row. During this period, we will give priority to educating them, helping them develop habits as soon as possible, and then punish them." Mr. Gu said that in the future, if passengers are found on the highway If you do not wear a seat belt, you will be educated or fined 5 to 50 yuan. Drivers who fail to use seat belts as required on the highway will be fined 200 yuan and given 2 points.

? ?Seat belt is a life belt to protect personal safety. According to research, if we wear seat belts, we can save more than 40% of lives in case of an accident. The consequences of not wearing a seat belt are unimaginable. Every year there are tragedies involving deaths and injuries caused by being ejected from a vehicle for not wearing a seat belt on the highway.
