Does having five adults and one child in a sedan count as overloading?
1 Answers
A sedan with a rated capacity of 5 people, carrying 5 adults + 1 child (even an infant in arms), counts as 6 people and is considered overloading. Precautions for children riding in cars are as follows: 1. Children should sit in the back seat of the car: The safest position in a car is the back seat, especially behind the front passenger seat, as the backrest in front can significantly reduce the impact of a collision. 2. Do not allow children to stand and play in the car: Some children like to jump around and may try to do so in the car or stand up to play, which is very dangerous. Movement in the car can easily cause children to fall, potentially leading to serious bone injuries. 3. Do not allow children to stick their heads out of the window: While driving, some curious children may try to stick their heads out of the window, which is extremely hazardous.
