How much is the fine for not wearing a seat belt?

What are the traffic police fines for wearing a seat belt in 2018?

In most countries, debates on the topic of whether you need to wear seat belts in a car or not have long ago ended with an unequivocal affirmative answer. Our motorists are still debating. Meanwhile, traffic police fines for wearing a seat belt in 2017-2018 became even tougher. Do we continue to argue or do we start following the rules?

How to use seat belts

There are legal regulations that clearly require everyone in the car to buckle up. Firstly, this will eliminate the need to pay fines, and secondly, and much more importantly, it will increase the safety of movement in the car for both the driver and his passengers.

For drivers

The traffic rules oblige the driver of a motor vehicle to buckle up himself while driving and to ensure that every passenger in his car is buckled up. In other words, the driver is prohibited from carrying passengers who are not wearing seat belts.

We recommend that everyone who gets into a car fasten their seat belts immediately, that is, before the car starts moving, and not unfasten them immediately after it stops.

And the point here is not at all about the all-seeing traffic police officers, who are just waiting for the moment to impose an administrative penalty on you. You just have to always use common sense.

And he suggests that even a car standing on the road can become involved in an accident, and it is better to protect yourself by fastening your seat belt.

For passengers

As for passengers, their role in ensuring the safety of their movement in transport is limited only by the use of a belt: with each trip, they, in fact, become hostages of the driver, trusting him with their lives.

And if there are no problems with passenger cars, then how many shuttle buses have you seen in which a passenger could buckle up? Probably not.

But everyone has heard more than once about accidents in which passengers of these buses were injured. Experts say that if people who were seriously injured in such accidents were wearing seat belts, the consequences for them would not be so severe.

The conclusion is clear. Under no circumstances should you blindly rely on the professionalism of drivers. If possible, be sure to fasten your seat belts. By the way, if the car you were driving gets into an accident, the insurance company’s decision to pay you monetary compensation will largely depend on whether you were wearing a seat belt or not. Remember this.

Rules for children

Now we come to the main point. How to use seat belts on the most valuable thing that can be inside the car? We are, of course, talking about children.

Traffic regulations allow the transportation of children under 12 years of age only if their safety is ensured. It is imperative to use special restraints or other means with which the child, taking into account his weight and height, can be securely fastened with seat belts.

In practice, this means that children must be transported in special seats into which they can be secured. Adapters installed on adult belts can also be used. In any case, a child should not ride in a car unbelted under any circumstances. And the law, judging by the latest changes in it, completely agrees with this statement.

Exceptions to the rules

There is a category of drivers who are not punished for driving without wearing seat belts. This is due either to the characteristics of the professional activity they conduct while driving, or to their state of health.

The legislation exempts from liability for driving with unfastened seat belts or without them at all:

driving instructors, but only at the time when they carry out professional activities;
disabled drivers with group I or II;
drivers and passengers using operational or special vehicles (police, ambulance) for transportation.

Fines for not wearing a seat belt

Driving unfastened in a car, as we have already found out, is unsafe for health. The Code of the Russian Federation on Administrative Offenses suggests that this is also expensive for your wallet.

In addition, means of automatic monitoring of compliance with traffic rules are also designed to record such violations. As we mentioned above, the traffic police fine for not fastening a seat belt became more severe in 2017.

The table of fines will help you figure out how much a particular traffic violation costs, which summarizes all possible penalties provided for by the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation for motorists who violate traffic rules. We recommend that you read it, print it out and always have it on hand in your car.

Why are drivers fined?

According to Article 12.6 of the Administrative Code, an administrative fine of 1,000 rubles is imposed on the driver of a vehicle if he and/or his passengers are not wearing seat belts while driving.

Moreover, the said amount will be paid regardless of how many people in the car violated the safety rules.

This is most illustrative of the example of a bus carrying 30 passengers. The driver must personally make sure that each of them is wearing a seat belt, since if checked, even one violator will cause a penalty of 1,000 rubles to be imposed on the driver.

The only small consolation is the provision of the law, which does not provide for the summation of fines: even if all 30 passengers refuse to buckle up, the driver carrying them will pay the same 1,000 rubles.

Administrative punishment for the passenger

A passenger may also be subject to administrative punishment for not fastening a seat belt, because by this very fact he violates a paragraph of the Traffic Rules. Article 12.29. The Code of Administrative Offenses provides for punishment for a vehicle passenger in the form of a warning or a fine of 500 rubles.

Fine for not fastening a child's seat belt

If a child under 12 years of age is traveling in the car, he must be in a special child seat or be fastened using adapters to adult seat belts. Otherwise, according to Part 3 of Art. 12.23 of the Code of Administrative Offenses, the traffic police fine for a child’s unfastened seat belt will be 3,000 rubles for the driver.

Traffic rules divide people into children and adults precisely at the turn of 12 years, although, according to the legislation of the Russian Federation, a child is considered an adult when he reaches 16 years of age.

Thus, a penalty of 3,000 rubles is imposed for children under 12 years of age.

For transporting unbelted minors from 12 to 16 years of age, the driver will pay a fine as for transporting adults, that is, one thousand rubles.

If you do not agree with the fine

In fact, if you are stopped by a traffic police officer because your seat belt is not fastened, there is always the opportunity to enter into an argument with him.

After all, traffic regulations oblige you to wear a seat belt only when the vehicle is moving. And since you are conducting a dialogue with the inspector in a stationary car, you have the right to be in it unfastened: that is, you should convince the inspector that you just unfastened your seat belts, after the car stopped.

But it makes sense to start a discussion only if the inspector has not shown you a video or photo to prove your violation. By the way, it is not always possible to accurately determine from them the fact of driving with unfastened seat belts if the image is unclear and the violation is recorded among passengers in the back seat.

Therefore, there is always the opportunity to appeal an imposed administrative fine in the manner prescribed by law (read the article: how to challenge a traffic police fine). Only in this case it is necessary to remember that when considering a case in court, you will need a set of evidence that can convince the judge to make a decision in your favor.

World practice

Fines for driving without wearing seat belts exist everywhere. But their size may differ significantly. It is difficult to say what this is due to: perhaps due to the fact that in some countries such a violation is classified as minor, while in others it is equated to drunk driving.

Judge for yourself: in the UK such a violation is estimated at 500 pounds, and in Finland at 35 euros. In Ireland you will have to pay 60 euros for each person in the car who is not seatbelted, and in Germany - 30 euros. Canada and the USA, two neighboring countries, also have different points of view on the size of the administrative fine: in Canada it can reach 1000 Canadian dollars, and in the USA – 50 US dollars.

China has the most lenient attitude towards the threat to the life and health of its citizens. There, a similar fine in terms of American currency is $8. But in Japan it reaches 450 US dollars.

The picture, as we see, is very mixed, and we, with our 15 dollar administrative fine, are at the bottom of this improvised table. This means that, most likely, the fines for not wearing a seat belt in a car will definitely increase.

It's no secret that wearing a seat belt is a mandatory requirement of traffic rules. However, many still neglect this simple rule.

Today we will tell you the size of the fine for not wearing a seat belt in 2018, who pays for an unfastened passenger, how pregnant women and children should fasten their seat belts, and whether such a fine can be challenged.

According to clause 2.1.2 of the Traffic Regulations , if a vehicle (hereinafter referred to as the vehicle) is equipped with seat belts, then the driver and passengers must wear them while driving.

“The driver of a power-driven vehicle is obliged, including when driving a vehicle equipped with seat belts, to be fastened and not to carry passengers who are not wearing seat belts...”

For violation of this rule, an administrative fine is collected from the driver on the basis of Art. 12.6 Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation . The fine for failure to use a belt is 1,000 rubles.

“Driving a vehicle by a driver who is not wearing a seat belt, transporting passengers who are not wearing seat belts, if the design of the vehicle provides for seat belts... – entails the imposition of an administrative fine in the amount of one thousand rubles.”

Please note: A fine for not wearing a seat belt can be paid with a 50% discount if done within 20 days from the date of the decision on the violation.

Part 1.3 Art. 32.2 Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation.

“When an administrative fine is paid by a person held administratively liable for committing an administrative offense provided for in Chapter 12 of this Code, with the exception of administrative offenses provided for in Part 1.1 of Article 12.1, Article 12.8, Parts 6 and 7 of Article 12.

9, part 3 of article 12.12, part 5 of article 12.15, part 3.1 of article 12.16, articles 12.24, 12.26, part 3 of article 12.

27 of this Code, no later than twenty days from the date of the decision to impose an administrative fine, an administrative fine may be paid in the amount of half the amount of the imposed administrative fine.”

As for the size of the fine for children not wearing a seat belt in a car in 2018, it depends on the age of the child.

So, if the child is over 12 years old, the driver will face a fine of 1,000 rubles. as for transporting an adult unbelted passenger on the basis of Art. 12.6 Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation.

When transporting children under 12 years of age, the special requirements established by clause 22.9 of the traffic rules .

“Transportation of children under 12 years of age in vehicles equipped with seat belts must be carried out using child restraints appropriate for the weight and height of the child, or other means that allow the child to be fastened using seat belts provided for by the design of the vehicle, and on the front passenger car seat – only with the use of child restraints.”

Therefore, children under 12 years of age should be transported using child safety seats (front and rear seats) or other devices that allow them to be fastened with adult seat belts (rear seats only).

A fine if the child is not fastened with a seat belt in the back, in accordance with Part 3 of Art. 12.23 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation is:

3000 rubles - for the driver;
25,000 rub. – for officials;
100,000 rub. – for organizations.

“Violation of the requirements for the transportation of children established by traffic regulations will entail the imposition of an administrative fine on the driver in the amount of three thousand rubles; for officials - twenty-five thousand rubles; for legal entities – one hundred thousand rubles.”

Please note: An unfastened child in a seat can only travel in vehicles that are not designed to be equipped with seat belts, and only in the back seat.

You will find more information on how to properly transport a child under 12 years of age in the article transporting children.

Traffic regulations establish that wearing a seat belt is not only the responsibility of the driver, but also of the passengers.

clause 5.1 of the Traffic Regulations of the Russian Federation.

“Passengers are obliged to:

when traveling in a vehicle equipped with seat belts, be wearing them.”

If a passenger is not wearing a seat belt while driving, then both the driver and the passenger are considered traffic violations. Therefore, the answer to the question of who pays the fine for a passenger not fastening his seat belt will be the driver and the passenger.

The driver will be fined 1000 rubles. according to Art. 12.6 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, which we discussed above, and the passenger - on the basis of a more general article 12.29 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, which establishes liability for violations of traffic rules by pedestrians, passengers and other road users.

Thus, a fine may be imposed on an unbelted passenger in accordance with Part 1 of Art. 12.29 of the Administrative Code in the amount of 500 rubles, if the traffic police inspector does not decide to limit himself to a warning.

“Violation of traffic rules by a pedestrian or passenger of a vehicle -

shall entail a warning or the imposition of an administrative fine in the amount of five hundred rubles.”

Due to the fact that the punishment for a driver for not fastening a passenger’s seat belt cannot be a warning, but only a fine, most often the person who is issued a fine if the passenger is not fastened is the driver. However, this does not mean that a passenger who neglects traffic rules is insured against administrative liability.

Wearing a seat belt is a mandatory requirement that applies to everyone. Traffic regulations do not provide for exceptions to this rule for pregnant women, so they are required to use belts at any stage of pregnancy.

To protect yourself and your child from injuries that can be caused by a seat belt during sudden braking, adhere to the following rules:

Place the shoulder strap of the belt across the center of your chest. Make sure the belt does not touch your face or neck;
Make sure that the lumbar portion of the belt does not go across your stomach. It is best to fix it under the stomach. If the belt reaches your belly button, lower it lower.

Please note: To secure the lumbar strap under your belly, you can use a special maternity belt adapter.

In the event of sudden braking or an accident, stationary belts, when correctly positioned, will protect the woman from injury and will not harm the fetus.

In some cars, the airbag inflates only when the seat belt is fastened, and in others, it always deploys.

Vehicles equipped with airbags are equipped with impact sensors. Front sensors react to the vehicle's deceleration rate, as well as its own deformation. In the event of a collision, they are activated and signal the airbags to deploy.

If you were wearing a seatbelt at the time of the impact, the airbag will soften the impact. If not, then hitting the airbag will be no less dangerous than hitting the dashboard. In this regard, on some car models, sensors are installed that prevent the airbag from opening when the seat belt is not fastened.

Remember that airbags effectively protect the driver and passengers in the event of an accident only in conjunction with seat belts. If you are not wearing a seat belt at the time of an accident, you risk serious injury, regardless of whether your vehicle is equipped with airbags or not.

As for how to challenge a fine for not fastening a car seat belt, this must be done if you were actually innocent. Based on the provisions of the traffic rules, there are several conditions under which this fine is unlawful:

The design of the car does not provide for the presence of seat belts;
You were not wearing a seat belt in a parked car;
On the road, the belts have failed, and you are moving to a service station or parking lot (Section 2.3.1 of the Traffic Regulations).

How to avoid a fine if you are stopped by an inspector because you are not wearing a seat belt? We recommend that you behave as follows:

Initially, ask the inspector to show a video or photograph that would support his claim that you were not wearing a seat belt. In the absence of such records, there are several methods of protection:

Your answer: “The belt must be used when moving, but my car is stationary. I just unfastened while you were walking towards me to get the documents. In a stopped car, the driver and passengers are not required to wear seat belts.”

Demand that a protocol of administrative violation be drawn up. When they give it to you to sign, you should make the following entry:

“I don’t agree with the violation. While the car was moving, he was wearing a seat belt. My guilt has not been proven in any way” (Article 1.5 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation).

If you have a ruling on an administrative violation, contact a car lawyer who will help you challenge it.

Either appeal this decision yourself within 10 days from the date of its receipt to a higher official, or to a higher authority, or to the court.

If you have been issued a fine for not using a seat belt, which you consider unfair, you have the right to appeal it to a higher authority, a higher official, or to the district court at the place where the case was heard (if this decision was made by a traffic police inspector). According to Part 1 of Art. 30.3 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, a complaint must be filed no later than 10 days from the date of receipt of the decision.

“A complaint against a decision in a case of an administrative offense may be filed within ten days from the date of delivery or receipt of a copy of the decision.”

Please note: Your chances of a successful outcome will depend on how you file your complaint. To do this correctly, seek help from a car lawyer.

Unfortunately, courts rarely side with drivers. Often, even if the traffic police inspector did not record the violation on camera, the courts recognize the fine for it as lawful.

One of the few pieces of evidence that can guarantee the cancellation of a fine for not wearing a seat belt is a recording from a car registrator. The recorder must have two cameras that simultaneously film what is happening outside the car and inside its interior. Only in this case will it be clear that you were wearing a seat belt at the moment when the traffic police inspector stopped you.

Testimony from witnesses can also be helpful, but even if it is available, it is not always possible to avoid a fine.

However, a fine is not the worst consequence of not wearing a seat belt. Remember that in an accident, wearing a seat belt can save your life.

What is the fine for not wearing a seat belt?

More and more often, modern drivers are faced with fines for not fastening their seat belts. Violations in the field of ensuring the safety of passenger transportation occur among many drivers.

To stop them, careless drivers have to be punished. And, as practice shows, penalties are the most effective.

What to expect if you don't fasten your seat belt? And how to properly transport citizens in a car? Let's figure it out.

Legislation

Information about administrative violations is found in the Administrative Code. This set of laws contains information about what threatens negligent citizens for certain administrative actions. For example, in case of violation of traffic rules.

What is the fine for not wearing seat belts? There is no single answer to this question. After all, there are various options for the development of events. And they will be discussed later. To begin with, it is worth remembering that all passengers in the car must be fastened with special seat belts. Otherwise, the driver faces a fine.

About transporting children

The latest adjustments to the rules for transporting citizens in cars provide special features for children. The thing is that, according to established rules, minors are allowed to be transported only in special restraining devices. They are popularly called child car seats.

But the need to use restraints only applies to children under 12 years of age. After this age, the child can be fastened with a regular seat belt.

Rear seats

A fine for not fastening seat belts is issued to the driver both for failure to comply with the established rules for transporting adults and children. But, as we have already found out, in the case of minors, you also have to use special devices.

Children under 7 years old can only be transported in the rear seats in a suitable type of car seat. And in a fastened state. If a child is sitting in a seat, but it is not fastened, you can expect a fine.

From 7 to 12 years of age, it is recommended that children be restrained using both regular seat belts and the use of restraints. And after the specified age limit, minors are required to use the seat belts available in the car.

Front seats

Recently, almost every second driver has been fined for not wearing a seat belt. In particular, when transporting children.

As we have already emphasized, up to 12 years of age, a child must be transported and secured only using car seats. But if a minor is riding in the back seat, you can at some point refuse to use restraints.

Speaking of front seats, there will be no exceptions for drivers. Children under 12 years of age must be transported here only in car seats. Otherwise, the driver will be fined a certain amount.

Fine for children

It is worth paying attention to the fact that unfastened seat belts for children and adults are different administrative violations. In addition, if the driver neglects the established rules, he also faces punishment.

Let's start with a fine for not fastening a child's seat belt. Previously, it was 500 rubles, but at the moment such a violation provides for a payment of 3,000 rubles. This is exactly how much the driver will have to pay for the violation being studied.

Passengers

What happens if the passenger does not use the car seat belts? For such an act one must also be punished. Not as serious as in the case of children, but it is there.

The fine for not fastening the rear seat belts, as well as for the front ones, is 500 rubles. This punishment is issued directly to the offender. A similar amount of payments is provided only for adult passengers. Until the offender turns 18, he is considered a child. But this does not mean that you will have to pay 6 times more. There are exceptions.

Drivers

Sometimes drivers themselves refuse to buckle up while driving. It is not difficult to guess that this will also be considered an administrative offense.

The fine for not fastening seat belts in this case reaches 1,000 rubles. The driver will pay the same amount for failure to comply with the rules for transporting passengers aged 12 to 16 years, as well as for adults who are not wearing a seatbelt.

Who doesn't pay?

There are a number of rules providing for exemption from fines for not wearing seat belts in a car. But, as a rule, they are rarely encountered. And it is not recommended to rely on them.

The following may not pay a fine for the act under study:

disabled people;
driving instructors;
drivers and passengers of all operational vehicles with identification marks.

As you can see, there are not many exceptions. And if the car does not have the listed identification marks, then the traffic police officer can fine both the driver and the passenger for failure to comply with traffic rules.

Other payments for children

We already know the fine for not wearing seat belts. Russian legislation provides for special payments in relation to the violation under study involving children.

The previously proposed fine was provided only for individuals. Recent innovations have supplemented violations with penalties for officials and organizations.

In the first case, you will have to pay 25 thousand rubles, and in the second - up to 100 thousand. Accordingly, if an organization violates the rules for transporting children in cars, it may be fined a very significant amount.

When not to buckle up?

Sometimes traffic police officers try to fine drivers illegally. Unfortunately, this practice occurs frequently. And many citizens do not know how to behave correctly in this or that case.

It is allowed to be unbelted in a car that is not moving. This rule applies to all passengers and drivers.

Accordingly, if a traffic police officer stopped a person and tries to issue a fine for not wearing a seat belt, you can refer to the fact that the belt was unfastened after the stop in order to communicate with the traffic police officer. Usually only the driver can avoid punishment in this way. Proving that the passengers were wearing seat belts while the car was moving is extremely problematic.

Results

Now it is clear what the fine will be for not fastening seat belts. This type of violation includes several types of payments. It all depends on who did it.

It is important to understand that if children are involved in the violation, the responsibility for paying the fine will fall on the driver. In this case, the child’s parents do not bear any punishment. The driver is entirely responsible for the safety of passengers.

Is it possible to get rid of a fine and appeal it? Yes. To do this, if a traffic police officer stopped a driver for not fastening his seat belt, the decision must be written “I do not agree with the violation.” And then, within 10 days, the fined person must go to court to appeal the punishment. All citizens who have committed an administrative violation have this right.

It is important to know that the number of unbelted passengers does not in any way affect the size of the fine. For this violation with the participation of adults, you will have to pay 1,000 rubles. And it doesn’t matter whether there was one passenger or several. The same applies to children.

However, a driver can be fined for wearing seat belts several times a day. There are no restrictions in this area. This means that if after the first fine the driver does not correct the violation, he can prepare for more serious payments. For unfastened rear seat belts, a fine is also provided in the amounts indicated earlier.

Fine amount for not wearing a seat belt

It is difficult to imagine modern cars without seat belts.

Although many automakers have come up with more modern means to ensure a safe ride, the belt remains an essential part of the vehicle.

In Russia there is a fine for not wearing a seat belt. In this case, punishment is possible both in the case of an unbelted driver and a passenger in the front or rear seat.

Fine for not wearing a seat belt in 2018

The seat belt is considered a reliable component of the car's interior that keeps the driver and passenger pinned to the seat in the event of sudden braking or an accident. Practice shows that it actually improves safety and reduces the risk of injury.

In Russia, they focus on points from the traffic rules numbered 2.1.2 and 5.1. They clearly state that drivers must buckle up themselves and ensure that passengers buckle up. The only restriction applies to driving instructors when teaching driving and employees of certain operational services.

The law requires wearing a seatbelt when driving vehicles. In Russia, there are different fines depending on the specific violation:

lack of RB in the driver;
absence of RB on the passenger.

Those violators whose children under 12 years of age were in the front seat without a special device are also punished. If the child was in the back seat, but without a special seat and was unfastened, then the driver will also face administrative punishment.

Amount of fine for unfastened driver's seat belt

Many drivers have a question: how much is the fine for not wearing a seat belt? The answer should be sought in the Code of Administrative Offences, or more precisely in Article 12.6. from the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation. The administrative fine currently amounts to one thousand rubles.

Moreover, this punishment in relation to drivers is relevant regardless of how many passengers were unbelted at the time the violation was recorded. Interestingly, a person can be fined for this violation an unlimited number of times a day - until it is eliminated. At 12.29 p.m.

The Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation states that the maximum penalty for unbelted passengers is 500 rubles.

Who pays the fine for a passenger not wearing a seat belt?

A separate fine for seat belt 2018 is provided for the passenger and a separate one for passengers. For people driving, the fine is prescribed in Article 12.6 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, and it is equal to one thousand rubles. People in the passenger seat of a vehicle may be warned or also fined 500 rubles.

Fine for not fastening a seat belt in the back seat in Russia 2018

People who think that you don't need to wear a seat belt in the back seat are mistaken. In Russia, the same administrative punishment is imposed in all cases:

the person driving is not wearing a seat belt;

What is the fine for driving without a seat belt?

Car seat belts were invented at the beginning of the 19th century, and began to be installed commercially on Volvo cars in 1959. Now they are a mandatory part of any car and their use is mandatory.

Traffic rules about seat belts

The traffic rules clearly state in paragraphs 2.1.2 and 5.1 that the driver of any vehicle must wear a seat belt. Passengers must also wear seat belts when driving. Only operational services and a driving school instructor can drive without a seatbelt when a student is driving the car.

Fines for not wearing a seat belt in 2017

Traffic regulations provide for three types of violations related to seat belts:

Unbelted driver.
Unbelted passenger.
Transporting children without special equipment.

The fine for these violations varies.

Unbelted driver

A driver who is not wearing a seat belt in 2017 risks receiving a fine under Article 12.6 of the Code of Administrative Offences . Please note that a fine can only be issued if the driver was not wearing a seat belt while in a moving vehicle. In a parking lot, the driver can remain in his seat and not wear a seat belt - he is in no danger.

Unbelted passenger

The passenger of the car is also responsible for observing traffic rules. His responsibility is to buckle up before driving.

If a traffic police inspector records that a passenger is ignoring his seat belt, he has the right to bring him to administrative responsibility under Article 12.29 of the Administrative Code - a fine of 500 rubles .

Every passenger who is not wearing a seat belt is subject to punishment. True, at the discretion of the inspector, you can get off with a written warning.

The driver is responsible for both himself and his passengers. If any of his passengers refuses to use a seat belt, then the driver will also be fined, but under Article 12.6 of the Code of Administrative Offenses , regardless of whether he himself is fastened or not.

Children under 12 years of age cannot be fastened with regular seat belts in a vehicle. Their design is designed for adults and the belts pass over the body in such a way as to keep the person in the seat in the event of an accident and not injure him.

Children are smaller in height than adults, so the brachial branch, which runs along the chest of an adult, falls on the child’s neck. This position of the belt in the event of an accident does not securely hold the child in the seat, which is a situation of increased danger.

Children under 12 years of age should only ride in child seats or a special device that guarantees their safety in the event of an accident. For younger children, the best option would be to use a child seat; older children can use a booster - a specially shaped pillow that raises it above a standard seat, or a special adapter that changes the position of the belt on the child's body.

Violation of this rule is punishable under paragraph 3 of Article 12.23 of the Code of Administrative Offenses with a fine of 3,000 rubles . Since children under 16 years of age are not subject to administrative penalties, the fine will be issued to the driver, regardless of whether it is his child or not.

Is an airbag a substitute for a seat belt?

Some drivers do not wear a seat belt, hoping that their car's airbags will protect them. In fact, they only make their situation worse in the event of an accident. The seat belt is designed to hold the body in place, and in an accident the person's head is rapidly accelerated forward, which can injure the neck.

In order to mitigate these consequences, airbags are needed - they stop head movement. If the driver is not wearing a seat belt, the deployed airbag will throw him back, increasing the consequences of the collision.
