1 Answers
Private cars overloaded by less than 20% will incur a 3-point penalty; exceeding 20% will result in a 6-point penalty. Specific details are as follows: Generally, private cars have a passenger limit of only 5 people. Carrying just one additional person constitutes a 20% overload, making it easy to incur heavy penalties if not careful. Driver's license point deduction rules: 1. The following violations by motor vehicle drivers will result in a 12-point deduction: Operating a commercial passenger vehicle (excluding buses) or school bus with passengers exceeding the approved capacity by more than 20%. 2. The following violations by motor vehicle drivers will result in a 6-point deduction: Operating a commercial passenger vehicle (excluding buses) or school bus with passengers exceeding the approved capacity by less than 20%, or operating other passenger vehicles with passengers exceeding the approved capacity by more than 20%; driving a truck with cargo exceeding the approved load capacity by more than 30% or illegally carrying passengers. 3. The following violations by motor vehicle drivers will result in a 3-point deduction: Operating passenger vehicles other than commercial passenger vehicles (excluding buses) or school buses with passengers exceeding the approved capacity by less than 20%; driving a truck with cargo exceeding the approved load capacity by less than 30%.
