It is considered overloading. The traffic law stipulates that the allowable number of passengers is based on the number indicated on the vehicle's registration certificate. Here is relevant information about the hazards of overloading: 1. Hazards: Research has found that when a vehicle's axle load exceeds the standard load by one time, driving on the road once is equivalent to a standard vehicle driving on asphalt pavement 256 times or on concrete pavement 65,536 times. Moreover, the larger the vehicle's rated load capacity, the more severe the damage caused by overloading. The maximum single rear axle load recorded in China reached 24 tons. Such a vehicle driving on a concrete road once is equivalent to a standard vehicle driving 1.21 million times. 2. Negative impacts: Overloading has caused significant harm to the healthy development of the transportation market. Overloading leads to market chaos, completely disrupting the basic pricing system of the transportation market. Under normal circumstances, transportation pricing used to be based on the cubic volume and weight of the goods, with negotiations and charges calculated per vehicle. Vehicle overloading also severely pollutes the atmospheric environment.
