Does Having Extra Children in the Car Count as Overcrowding?

[DelJourney]

Having extra children in the car does count as overcrowding. Below is an introduction to the hazards of driving with an overloaded vehicle: 1. Damage to road infrastructure: Since overloaded vehicles far exceed the design load of roads and bridges, they cause pavement damage, bridge fractures, and significantly shorten service life. 2. Increased danger: Overloaded vehicles have greater mass and inertia, leading to longer braking distances and higher risks. Severe overloading can cause tire blowouts, sudden swerving, brake failure, rollovers, and other accidents due to excessive tire load and deformation. Additionally, overloading affects the vehicle's steering performance, increasing the likelihood of accidents due to loss of control. 3. Traffic congestion: Overloaded vehicles cannot travel at normal speeds, occupying lanes for extended periods and directly affecting road traffic flow.
