Can four people sit in the back seat of a private car?
1 Answers
Four people cannot sit in the back seat of a private car. If a traffic police officer sees four people sitting in the back seat, it will be penalized as overloading. Currently, common traffic violations captured by cameras include running red lights, crossing lane lines, driving in the wrong direction, violating traffic bans, and not wearing seat belts. The following are the hazards of vehicle overloading: 1. Overloading severely damages road infrastructure: Roads are designed with a certain load limit. Overloaded vehicles can damage the road surface, as the actual load far exceeds the upper limit of road and bridge capacity, leading to pavement damage, bridge fractures, and significantly shortened service life. 2. Increased driving risks: Severe overloading can also damage car tires, causing excessive deformation, which may lead to tire blowouts or sudden swerving. 3. Increased likelihood of driver errors: Drivers of overloaded vehicles tend to be more nervous while driving, making them prone to operational errors that affect driving safety and lead to accidents. 4. Increased danger in the event of an accident: The safety design of a car is based on the intended passenger capacity. In an overloaded vehicle, the extra passengers do not receive adequate protection.
