A 5-seater car carrying five adults and one child is considered overloading. Passenger vehicle overloading is calculated per person, and exceeding even one person, whether an adult or a child, counts as overloading. Overloading a car may result in a fine ranging from 500 to 2000 yuan and a deduction of 6 to 12 points from the driver's license. The following is an introduction to vehicle overloading: 1. Traffic Safety Law stipulates: Scoring is based on the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China," which states that traffic management departments of public security authorities, in addition to imposing administrative penalties, implement a cumulative scoring system (hereinafter referred to as scoring) for road traffic safety violations by motor vehicle drivers. The scoring cycle is 12 months. 2. Penalties for overloading: If a driver accumulates 12 points within a scoring cycle, the traffic management department of the public security authority will detain their motor vehicle driving license. The driver must then participate in the study of road traffic safety laws and regulations and take an exam as required. If the exam is passed, the points will be cleared, and the driving license will be returned. If the exam is not passed, the driver must continue studying and retaking the exam. If a motor vehicle driver does not accumulate 12 points within a scoring cycle and has paid all fines, the points will be cleared. If points have not reached 12 but there are unpaid fines, the points will carry over to the next scoring cycle.
