90% of bus passengers are not wearing seat belts

On the 16th, the province focused on investigating the unlawful behavior of bus passengers on a unified day of operation. Jinan traffic police concentrated on the inspection of passing buses. The results showed that 90% of passengers did not wear safety belts.

In the morning of the same day, at the Jinan Steel Inspection Station on the North Industrial Road, the civilian police of the Jinan Steel Squadron of the Licheng Traffic Police Brigade carried out inspections on seven or more buses passing by.

At 9:30, a passenger train from the East Long-distance Bus Station to the Zhangqiuing Family House was trafficked by the traffic police to take a routine inspection. The passenger train carries 33 passengers and actually carries only 16 passengers. Although all the hardware and software facilities of the vehicle were in compliance with the operating rules, the sharp-eyed police found that most of the passengers in the vehicle did not wear safety belts.

The number of reporters counted. Only 5 of the 16 passengers had their seat belts. Why not wear a seat belt? In the face of the police's inquiries, a middle-aged man on the car said indifferently, "It's hard to tie it!"

The traffic police also inspected a passenger bus bound for Zouping from Jinan. The nuclear load contained 33 people and actually carried 33 people. However, all the passengers on the car did not actually wear safety belts. When it comes to the importance of wearing seat belts, many passengers consider it insignificant. Subsequently, the reporter boarded another three medium-distance coaches and found that 90% of the passengers were not wearing seat belts.

“At a critical moment, seat belts can save lives. The department is not wearing seat belts, and the difference can be too great!” said Zhang Chengbin, a coach of the Vehicle Management Unit of the Licheng Traffic Police Brigade. The coaches generally do not have a fully loaded steel frame structure and are easily deformed after a collision. Even if it is broken down, for safety reasons, passengers must use a seat belt to ride the bus.

"The lack of self-safety awareness means that most of the passengers are evasive. There is also a sense of luck and they don't pay attention to these details." Zhang Chengbin reluctantly said that passengers, like drivers, are not detained and fined if they are not wearing seat belts. Without coercion, only rely on self-consciousness.

According to the provisions of Article 51 of the current Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China, when a motorized vehicle is moving, drivers and occupants shall use seat belts as required. However, there are no rigid correction rules for the behavior of the occupant not wearing a seat belt. "There is no legal basis. In the course of law enforcement, passengers who are not wearing seatbelts cannot be punished. They can only be persuaded." A traffic police in Jinan said.
