A 5-seater car overloaded with 2 people will be fined 200-500 yuan and receive 6 penalty points. According to traffic regulations: For passenger vehicles (excluding buses and school buses) carrying passengers exceeding the approved number by less than 20%, a fine of 200-500 yuan and 3 penalty points will be imposed; for exceeding the approved number by 20% or more, a fine of 200-500 yuan and 6 penalty points will be imposed. The following are the hazards of overloading: 1. It is highly likely to induce traffic accidents: Overloaded vehicles are in a state of overloading for a long time, with lower safety performance in terms of braking and operation, and are prone to tire blowouts, brake failure, broken leaf springs, axle fractures, and other dangers, posing serious hidden dangers to traffic safety. According to statistics, more than 80% of road traffic accidents involving heavy trucks are caused by overloading. 2. It significantly shortens the service life of roads: The load of overloaded vehicles generally far exceeds the design load capacity of roads and bridges. Their frequent driving on roads causes pavement damage and bridge fractures, significantly shortening the normal service life of roads and leading to early major repairs.
