Driving a commercial passenger vehicle (excluding buses) or school bus with passengers exceeding the approved capacity by less than 20%, or driving other passenger vehicles with passengers exceeding the approved capacity by more than 20%; 6 points will be deducted at one time. Traffic regulations stipulate: Passenger cars also fall under the category of passenger vehicles, so overloading a passenger car is also subject to penalties. The penalty for overloading a passenger car is the same as for commercial passenger vehicles. According to the new traffic regulations, driving a commercial passenger vehicle (excluding buses) or school bus with passengers exceeding the approved capacity by less than 20%, or driving other passenger vehicles with passengers exceeding the approved capacity by more than 20% will result in a deduction of 6 points at one time; driving a passenger vehicle other than a commercial passenger vehicle (excluding buses) or school bus with passengers exceeding the approved capacity by less than 20% will result in a deduction of 3 points at one time. Standard passenger capacity for passenger cars: Usually, the standard passenger capacity for passenger cars is 5 people, but there may be situations where the number of passengers exceeds this limit.

Can I Apply for ETC Without a Driver's License?

You can apply for ETC without a driver's license. According to the "Implementation Plan for Accelerating the Application Service of Electronic Non-stop Toll Collection on Highways" issued by the Ministry of Transport, the owner needs to provide the original valid ID card, the original and a copy of the vehicle registration certificate, and the page of the registration certificate with the latest annual inspection stamp. If applying on behalf of someone else, the agent's original valid ID card is also required. If applying for ETC through major bank branches, you also need to prepare a debit card or credit card from the corresponding bank. Some banks only support ETC binding with credit cards, while others may require freezing a portion of the amount as a deposit when binding ETC with a debit card. The principle of ETC deduction: There will be one or more ETC lanes on highways. Through microwave dedicated short-range communication between the vehicle-mounted electronic tag installed on the windshield and the microwave antenna in the ETC lane of the toll station, computer networking technology is used to conduct background settlement with the bank, achieving the goal of paying tolls without stopping at the toll station. All this is based on the principle of passing first and deducting fees later. Benefits of installing ETC: Time-saving: Eliminates the hassle of waiting in line; Green and eco-friendly: Green and low-carbon, vehicles pass through the toll station without stopping, reducing noise and exhaust emissions and minimizing pollution; Reduced wear and tear: Saves costs, reduces the frequency of vehicle starts and brakes, lowers wear and fuel consumption, and users can also enjoy a 5% discount on toll fees; Improved efficiency: The theoretical efficiency of ETC lanes can be increased by 2-3 times, making traditional ETC more updated, faster, and more high-tech. Compared to license plate payment, ETC technology is more mature and advantageous. More policy support: The State Council explicitly proposed in the "13th Five-Year Plan for the Development of a Modern Comprehensive Transportation System" to "basically achieve interoperability of transportation smart cards in key urban agglomerations by 2020 and significantly increase the proportion of vehicles equipped with ETC," and set a clear target in the main indicators of the "13th Five-Year" comprehensive transportation development to "achieve a 50% ETC usage rate for road passenger vehicles by 2020." More future possibilities: In addition to continuously improving the convenience of ETC installation and usage and the ETC usage rate for passenger vehicles, the future will also promote the use of ETC for trucks and explore the deep integration of the ETC system with smart transportation development directions such as vehicle-to-vehicle communication and vehicle-road coordination, providing comprehensive travel services for vehicle owners. This means more application scenarios will support ETC applications. ETC usage precautions: The ETC transaction sensing area is 8 meters. When encountering a stopped vehicle ahead, to prevent the ETC device of the vehicle ahead from malfunctioning or not having an ETC device at all, maintain a distance of more than 10 meters from the vehicle ahead to avoid automatically sensing and paying for the vehicle ahead. The recognition speed for ETC lane passage is 20 km/h. If the speed is too fast, the vehicle device information cannot be read, which will also result in failed fee deductions. Unauthorized removal or movement of the OBU device, detachment or loosening of the ETC electronic tag, etc., will cause the electronic tag to fail. It can be sent to the bank where the ETC card was issued or the highway service office for testing. If the loosening or detachment is not due to human factors, it only needs to be reactivated. When using a debit card bound to ETC, insufficient balance will also result in failed fee deductions. Follow the guidance of on-site staff to use the manual MTC lane and pass by cash or card payment. Poor sensing due to excessively thick windshields. Especially for vehicles that have had accidents and had their windshields replaced or for those who have modified their front windshields, extra attention is needed.

Difference Between Monocoque and Body-on-Frame?

Here are the differences between monocoque and body-on-frame: 1. Function: A monocoque body not only has its inherent load-bearing function but also directly withstands various load forces. The advantage of a body-on-frame is that it has an independent frame, higher chassis strength, and better resistance to bumps. Additionally, uneven forces on the four wheels are borne by the frame and not transmitted to the body. 2. Advantages: The monocoque body offers significant improvements in both safety and stability, with benefits such as lower weight, reduced height, and easier assembly. The body-on-frame's advantages include an independent frame, higher chassis strength, and better resistance to bumps. 3. Safety: In dangerous situations (such as a rollover), the heavy chassis of a body-on-frame can pose a fatal threat to the relatively weaker body. The monocoque is more stable and offers better safety performance.
