Can a sedan carry up to 6 people?
1 Answers
Sedans cannot carry 6 people as it constitutes overloading, which may result in a 6-point deduction and a fine of 200 yuan if caught. According to traffic safety regulations, sedans are generally designed to seat 5 people, including the driver. If the number of passengers exceeds 20% of the rated capacity, it is considered overloading. The penalty standards for overloading are as follows: 1. Point deduction: Driving an operational passenger vehicle (excluding buses) or school bus with passengers exceeding 20% of the rated capacity will result in a 12-point deduction. Driving an operational passenger vehicle (excluding buses) or school bus with passengers exceeding but not reaching 20% of the rated capacity, or driving other passenger vehicles with passengers exceeding 20% of the rated capacity, will result in a 6-point deduction. 2. Fine: For passenger vehicles exceeding the rated capacity, a fine ranging from 200 to 500 yuan will be imposed. If the number of passengers exceeds 20% of the rated capacity, a fine ranging from 500 to 2,000 yuan will be imposed.
