How is a 5-seater car penalized for carrying 6 people including children?
1 Answers
4-seater or 5-seater cars carrying 6 people exceed the approved passenger capacity by 20%. According to the "Scoring Standards for Road Traffic Safety Law Violations", driving passenger vehicles (excluding public buses) or school buses that exceed the approved passenger capacity by less than 20%, or driving other passenger vehicles that exceed the approved passenger capacity by more than 20%, will result in a penalty of 6 demerit points imposed by the traffic management department of the public security authority. Below is relevant information about overloading: 1. Hazards: Research has found that when a vehicle's axle load exceeds the standard load by one time, driving on the highway once is equivalent to a standard vehicle driving on asphalt pavement 256 times or on cement concrete pavement 65,536 times. Moreover, the larger the approved load capacity of the vehicle, the more severe the damage to the road caused by overloading. The maximum single rear axle load monitored in China reached 24 tons. Such a vehicle driving on a cement highway once is equivalent to a standard vehicle driving 1.21 million times. 2. Negative impacts: Overloading has caused significant harm to the healthy development of the transportation market. Overloading leads to market chaos, completely disrupting the basic price formation system of the transportation market. Under normal circumstances, transportation pricing is based on the cubic volume and weight of the goods. Overloaded vehicles severely pollute the atmospheric environment. To obtain greater traction, overloaded vehicles often drive at low gears with high throttle, causing incomplete combustion of engine fuel, resulting in excessive exhaust emissions, excessive noise, and severe pollution of the atmospheric environment.
