Overloading a private car by one person will result in a deduction of 2 points. Below are the relevant provisions of the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China": Article 49: Motor vehicles shall not carry more passengers than the approved number, and passenger vehicles shall not carry goods in violation of regulations. Article 92: If a highway passenger vehicle carries more passengers than the approved number, a fine shall be imposed. If the number of passengers exceeds 20% of the approved capacity or goods are carried in violation of regulations, a fine shall be imposed. If a freight vehicle exceeds the approved load capacity, a fine shall be imposed; if the load exceeds 30% of the approved capacity or passengers are carried in violation of regulations, a fine shall be imposed. Notes: Overloading a vehicle will reduce its braking, steering, and other performance. Excessive load mass will increase the vehicle's inertia, lengthen the braking distance, and increase the risk. Due to the exponential increase in total load mass, the braking effect on slopes is weakened, turning sensitivity is reduced, and the risk of accidents such as failed braking, rolling back, and tire blowouts is heightened.
