Does a child count as overloading?
1 Answers
Children count as overloading. Here is some information: Traffic regulations: According to China's traffic laws, the criterion for determining overloading is the number of passengers, and there is no exception for children. Even infants who cannot walk are counted as one passenger. Consequences of overloading: As per relevant laws, if the overload does not exceed 20% of the specified limit, a fine of 200 yuan and 3 demerit points will be imposed. If it exceeds 20%, an additional 3 demerit points will be added, totaling 6 points. Safety concerns: In the event of an emergency brake, children can easily be thrown out, causing unnecessary trouble and danger. Traffic police also emphasize that during family road trips, the number of passengers must strictly adhere to the vehicle's rated capacity.
