How many points are deducted for a private car carrying one extra passenger?
1 Answers
A private car carrying one extra passenger will be deducted 2 points and fined, while a passenger vehicle carrying one extra passenger will be deducted 6 points. According to regulations, motor vehicles must not carry more passengers than the approved capacity, and passenger vehicles must not carry cargo in violation of the rules. Below is an introduction to the hazards of vehicle overloading: 1. Overloading reduces the braking and steering performance of the vehicle: Excessive load increases the vehicle's inertia, lengthens the braking distance, and raises the risk of accidents. The doubled total load weakens braking effectiveness on slopes, reduces turning sensitivity, and increases the likelihood of accidents such as brake failure, rollback, and tire blowouts. 2. Overloading also affects the vehicle's steering performance: For example, it may cause the steering wheel to feel light and shaky, increasing the risk of accidents due to loss of steering control. Driving an overloaded vehicle reduces stability, increases centrifugal force, and makes vehicle control more difficult, especially when encountering curves, slopes, or emergencies, leading to accidents due to delayed reactions or inadequate control.
