Even infants who cannot walk are counted as one passenger. Relevant information: 1. Legal basis: Article 92 of the Road Traffic Safety Law stipulates that for passenger vehicles exceeding the rated number of passengers, a fine of 200 to 500 yuan shall be imposed; if the number exceeds 20% of the rated capacity or if goods are carried in violation of regulations, a fine of 500 to 2,000 yuan shall be imposed. 2. Basis for penalties: For freight motor vehicles exceeding the approved load capacity, a fine of 200 to 500 yuan shall be imposed; if the load exceeds 30% of the approved capacity or if passengers are carried in violation of regulations, a fine of 500 to 2,000 yuan shall be imposed.
