Is it considered overloading if a small car carries five adults and one child?

If the car is a 5-seater, it is considered overloading as long as there are more than five people in the car. Here are the specific details: 1. Driving an operational passenger vehicle (excluding buses) or a school bus with passengers exceeding the approved number by less than 20%, or driving other passenger vehicles with passengers exceeding the approved number by more than 20%, will result in a 6-point penalty. 2. Driving passenger vehicles other than operational passenger vehicles (excluding buses) or school buses with passengers exceeding the approved number by less than 20% will result in a 3-point penalty. In fact, the national regulations are based on safety considerations, especially for children, who have almost no ability to react in car accidents.
