Are There Penalties for Overloading a Sedan?
1 Answers
Overloading a sedan will also incur penalties. Here is the relevant information: 1. Regulations: According to the Road Traffic Safety Law, if the number of passengers exceeds the specified limit by less than 20%, a fine of 100 yuan will be imposed, and 3 points will be deducted from the driver's license. If it exceeds 20%, a fine of 200 yuan will be imposed, and 6 points will be deducted from the driver's license. Taking a standard sedan as an example, carrying one extra passenger means the vehicle is overloaded by more than 20%, resulting in a fine of 200 yuan and 6 points deducted from the driver's license. 2. Penalty Information: The vehicle's registration certificate specifies the maximum number of passengers allowed. If the number of passengers exceeds this limit, it is considered overloading. Typically, a family sedan is designed for 5 seats, including the driver, meaning no more than 5 people (regardless of age) should be in the car. Exceeding this limit will result in penalties.
