How much is exceeded when a 7-seater car carries 9 people?

20%-30%, subject to a fine, 3 points deducted at once, and the excess passengers must get off before the vehicle can continue driving. The following is related information about overloading: 1. Introduction to overloading: Overload refers to the actual load of a transportation vehicle exceeding the approved maximum allowable limit. Freight overloading usually refers to the cargo transported by motor vehicles exceeding the total load weight of the freight vehicle. 2. Hazards of overloading: Research has found that when a vehicle's axle load exceeds the standard load by one time, driving on the road once is equivalent to a standard vehicle driving on asphalt pavement 256 times or on cement concrete pavement 65,536 times. Moreover, the larger the approved load capacity of the vehicle, the more severe the damage to the road caused by overloading. The maximum single rear axle load weight of a vehicle monitored in China reached 24 tons. Such a vehicle driving on a cement road once is equivalent to a standard vehicle driving 1.21 million times.
I've been driving for over a decade. When a 7-seater car is packed with 9 people, exceeding the capacity by two, the weight increases significantly. On the road, the brakes feel much less responsive, especially when going uphill or at high speeds, with longer stopping distances and less stable steering. I remember one rainy day when the overloaded car almost caused a rear-end collision. Overloading increases the risk of rollovers and loss of control. The car's interior is designed for 7 people to sit comfortably; squeezing in 9 can easily lead to driver fatigue. With normal passenger loads, the car responds nimbly and has a high safety factor. Before setting out, always check the number of passengers. Don't take risks to save trouble—arranging for an extra vehicle is much safer. Remember, safety always comes first; the lives of your family are more important than anything else.
