How to Penalize a Private 7-Seater Car Carrying 8 Passengers?
1 Answers
Number of passengers is the basis for determining whether a vehicle is overloaded. Therefore, carrying 8 people in a 7-seater car inevitably exceeds its approved capacity. If discovered by traffic police, the driver will be fined and penalized with 3 demerit points. Excluding buses and school buses, passenger vehicles carrying more than the approved number of passengers (but less than 20% over) will be fined and penalized with 3 demerit points. Exceeding the approved capacity by over 20% will result in a fine and 6 demerit points. No penalty will be imposed, but overloading is irresponsible towards the lives of oneself and other passengers, and can even pose serious threats to national financial security.
