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.

I've studied the vehicle load regulations. The standard capacity for a 7-seater is 7 people, carrying 9 exceeds by 2, resulting in an overload rate of approximately 29%. This violates traffic laws and may result in fines ranging from 200 to 2000 yuan and 3 to 6 penalty points. Moreover, insurance may not cover accident losses when overloaded, increasing legal risks. Normally, following the rules ensures stable vehicle performance; overloading compromises passenger safety. It's advisable to plan trips reasonably and respect legal limits to avoid unnecessary trouble and costs.

With my extensive experience traveling with kids, squeezing 9 people into a 7-seater is truly unbearable. Overloading by two means the back row is packed with adults and children—legs cramped, poor air circulation, and kids getting carsick and crying. At normal 7-person capacity, the space is reasonable and conversation flows comfortably. But when overloaded, children lack safe seating positions, their bodies lurch forward during braking, making injuries more likely. What should be a pleasant journey becomes miserable for everyone when overloaded. Prioritizing family health and safety, spending a bit more to take two separate taxis is far more worthwhile—comfort and peace of mind are what truly matter.
