Can a sedan accommodate 4 adults and 2 children (6 people in total)?

No, it cannot carry six people as it constitutes overloading. Here are the relevant details: 1. Overloading: Refers to when a transportation vehicle's actual load exceeds the maximum permitted limit. Freight overloading typically means the cargo transported by motor vehicles exceeds the vehicle's loading capacity. 2. Penalties for overloading: Any vehicle exceeding 20% of the approved passenger capacity is considered overloaded and will be penalized under new traffic regulations. The new regulations have increased penalty points for serious overloading violations by drivers of key vehicle types: Operating a commercial passenger vehicle exceeding 20% of approved capacity results in 12 penalty points; operating a commercial passenger vehicle exceeding capacity by less than 20%, or operating other passenger vehicles exceeding 20% of approved capacity results in 6 penalty points. Operating passenger vehicles (excluding commercial buses and school buses) exceeding capacity by less than 20% results in 3 penalty points.
