How Much Can a Private Car Carry Before It's Considered Freight Transport?

[StJade]

Passenger cars can carry items, but the loaded goods must not exceed the vehicle's dimensions or affect normal driving. Here are the specific details: 1. According to Article 48 of the 'Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China,' motor vehicles carrying goods must comply with the approved load capacity, and overloading is strictly prohibited. The length, width, and height of the goods must not violate loading requirements, and the cargo must not spill or scatter. 2. If a motor vehicle transports oversized, indivisible items that affect traffic safety, it must travel at the time, route, and speed designated by the traffic management department of the public security authority, with clear signage displayed. For transporting such items on highways, the provisions of the Highway Law must also be followed. 3. Motor vehicles transporting explosives, flammable and explosive chemicals, highly toxic, radioactive, or other hazardous materials must obtain approval from the public security authority, travel at the designated time, route, and speed, display warning signs, and take necessary safety measures.
