Drivers say passengers will not use passenger seat belts
A few days ago, at the G25 Changshen Expressway Father's Ridge Provincial Highway Checkpoint, high-speed traffic police encountered a rather unusual situation. A bus driver had removed all the seat belts from the passenger seats, claiming that passengers weren’t using them anyway. The incident sparked concern over safety and compliance with regulations.
On the same afternoon, despite heavy rain and snow, traffic officers were conducting routine checks on buses entering Zhejiang Province. As they boarded a bus with the license plate Yu-A, they noticed something alarming—several passenger seats had no seat belts installed. “This is a brand-new bus,†one officer remarked. “How can there be no seat belts in the passenger seats? That’s not right.†The officer immediately informed the driver, Xu, about the issue.
Xu responded with surprising confidence, stating, “Before the Spring Festival, I’m going to remove all the seat belts. Passengers won’t use them anymore anyway.†When asked how he ensured passenger safety without seat belts, Xu replied, “I’ll just drive slower. It’s fine.â€
The traffic police were clearly unimpressed. They reprimanded Xu for violating safety regulations and issued a 200-yuan fine under the grounds of “illegally modifying mechanical components that didn’t meet technical standards.†Additionally, they ordered him to reinstall all the missing seat belts immediately.
This incident has raised questions about the responsibility of drivers and the importance of adhering to safety protocols, especially when it comes to protecting passengers. While some may argue that seat belts are often ignored, removing them entirely is not a solution—it only puts lives at risk.
It also highlights the need for stricter enforcement of vehicle safety standards and better public awareness about the importance of seat belts. After all, safety should never be compromised for convenience or cost-saving measures.
