Does having an extra child in the car count as overloading?
1 Answers
Having an extra child in the car counts as overloading. Here is relevant information: 1. The traffic regulations regarding "overcrowding" do not specify the height, weight, or age of passengers, but only the "number." Therefore, in a car with a capacity of 5 people, an additional child (even an infant held in a parent's arms) constitutes overloading. 2. According to regulations, overloading a car will result in a penalty of 3 demerit points and a fine of 200 yuan. Moreover, if the number of overloaded passengers increases, the demerit points will also rise. In fact, the demerit points and fines are not the most important issue; the key concern is that overloading makes the interior space extremely cramped, affecting the driver's operation and significantly increasing the likelihood of traffic accidents.
