Does an extra child in the car count as overloading?

[StJameson]

Every vehicle will indicate its load capacity or passenger capacity. According to the rules of the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China", overloading is calculated by headcount. As long as the number of people exceeds the limit, even if it's a child or a baby held in arms, it is considered overloading. The following are the relevant penalties for being found overloading: According to traffic regulations, for passenger vehicles other than buses and school buses, carrying passengers exceeding the approved number by less than 20% will result in a fine of 100 yuan and 3 demerit points, while exceeding the approved number by more than 20% will result in a fine of 100 yuan and 6 demerit points. For a family five-seat car, carrying one extra person is a 20% overload, which is a violation. If caught by traffic police on the highway, it will result in 6 demerit points and a fine of 200 yuan.
