1 Answers
A five-seater car with five adults and one child counts as overloading. It is considered overloading. Here is some information about overloading: 1. Legal Basis: According to the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China," if a passenger vehicle carries more passengers than its rated capacity, a fine of 200 to 500 RMB will be imposed, and 3 points will be deducted from the driver's license. If the number of passengers exceeds 20% of the rated capacity or if the vehicle carries goods in violation of regulations, a fine of 500 to 2,000 RMB will be imposed, and 6 points will be deducted from the driver's license. 2. Explanation of the Phenomenon: Whether it's an adult or a child, each counts as an independent individual, so it will be regarded as overloading. Overloading can easily lead to traffic accidents. In the event of an accident, if overloading is involved, not only will the responsible party be held accountable, but subsequent insurance claims may also encounter issues.
