How many people exceed the limit when 9 people sit in a 5-seater car?
1 Answers
5-seater car with 9 people exceeds the limit by 4. According to legal regulations, driving an operational passenger vehicle exceeding the approved number of passengers by less than 20%, or driving other passenger vehicles exceeding the approved number of passengers by more than 20%, will result in a 6-point penalty and a fine. The following are the hazards of vehicle overloading: 1. Increased risk of rollover: The more overloaded passengers there are, the more the vehicle's center of gravity shifts, especially when turning, making the vehicle more prone to rollover. 2. Reduced braking performance: Inertia is related to the mass of the object. When braking, the vehicle relies on resistance to stop. The more overloaded the vehicle, the greater the inertia, making it harder to stop compared to normal conditions. 3. Tire blowout: Overloading causes the vehicle's tires to operate under excessive load, increasing tire pressure and temperature, which can easily lead to tire blowouts. 4. Worsened accidents: Under normal circumstances, every member in the vehicle has corresponding safety belts, seats, and other equipment. However, with overloading, not everyone has these, making it impossible to avoid situations that could have been prevented in the event of an accident.
