Many car owners will pay attention to the space and practicality of the car when buying a car, and whether the car is spacious enough and the trunk capacity is not large enough has become one of the key factors for the owner to choose a car. Many car companies have also invested in it, expanding the trunk space, and even changing the rear seats to a mode that can be put down, so that the owner can put the seat down into a bed when driving by car.
Mr. Wang, the owner of the car from Inner Mongolia, recently encountered a doubt:
He took his family to drive an off-road vehicle long-distance self-driving tour, in the process of running the high speed, he put the rear seat down, let his wife lie in the back to rest, did not expect to just get off the highway was stopped by the traffic police, the traffic police believe that Mr. Wang privately put down the rear seat is a violation of the law, Mr. Wang took a penalty of 3 points and a fine of 200 yuan.
Mr. Wang did not understand very much, his wife was lying in the back seat and did not drive, could she not take a break?
Lying down in the back row = not wearing a seat belt = illegal
In fact, the "Road Safety Traffic Law Implementation Regulations" does not specifically point out that this practice is illegal, but if you do not wear a seat belt, it is definitely an illegal act, if you put the back seat flat to sleep, you must not be able to wear a seat belt, which is equivalent to constituting an illegality.
According to the relevant provisions of the Road Traffic Safety Regulations (penalties may vary slightly in different regions):
● Drivers who do not use seat belts according to regulations when driving on highways and urban expressways will face a fine of 50 yuan and 2 points, and passengers will face a fine of 20 yuan.
● Drivers who do not use seat belts on ordinary roads will also face a fine of 50 yuan, and passengers will face a fine of 5 yuan.
The person lying down in the back row has no resistance to the impact of the accident
When a vehicle is involved in an accident, compared with the front passengers, the rear passengers are often defenseless, and it is difficult to react immediately in a lying down posture, and the body is more likely to be injured or even thrown out of the car. According to the ordinary lying method, the head will first hit the seat in front, and the head and spine will be impacted, which may lead to paralysis in severe cases. Wearing seat belts is not to avoid demerit points and fines, but from the owner's own safety considerations.
Near the end of the year, the local public security traffic police departments, together with the transportation departments, are comprehensively and strictly investigating the "passenger vehicle drivers and passengers, all staff, the whole process of standardized seat belts", we must pay attention to it.
What is full staff?
Refers to: Both the driver and the passenger should wear seat belts, including the driver of the vehicle, the front and rear passengers of the small passenger car and all the passengers in the bus.
What is the whole process?
Many people have the misunderstanding that they only need to wear seat belts on the highway, and when driving in urban areas, they do not need to. Here to emphasize: "the whole process" means that the driver and occupants of the car must wear seat belts during the whole process of the vehicle.
The rear drain invert function ≠ used at will
Of course, many cars now have their own flat rear seat function that can be put down, just to facilitate everyone's rest, not to say that it cannot be used. However, it should be noted that you cannot put it down during the driving process, and you can park the car in a safe place (such as a service area) and then put down the rear seat to rest.
It is not allowed to put down the rear row of "passenger and freight loading"
Some car owners asked, I do not carry people, can the goods at the rear discharge point be carried?
"Cargo" in the relevant laws means the delivery of goods for profit, and personal belongings are not subject to the jurisdiction of this law. It is no problem for people to load their own belongings without being overweight and oversized, not for profit from sales.
But if you directly remove the rear seat to carry people and cargo, this behavior is to modify the internal structure of the car without permission, which is a violation. Once caught by the traffic police, it is generally deducted 3 points and fined between 200 and 500. From a safety point of view, in case the vehicle brakes sharply, the cargo on the rear will be displaced, which may directly hit the passengers in the car, causing danger.
Write at the end:
At the end of each year, the traffic police will always be particularly strict when checking the car, not wearing seat belts, putting down the rear seat to sleep, mixing passengers and goods, placing flammable and explosive materials, placing overloaded and oversized items, etc. are all within the scope of strict inspection. In addition, if the driving time is too long and too tired, it is recommended that you choose the nearest service area for rest, wait for the energy to drive again, go out safely, and get home safely!
