Is it illegal to drive with a car trunk unable to close due to cargo?

Driving with a car trunk unable to close due to cargo is, strictly speaking, a violation and thus illegal. An open trunk poses a risk of items falling out, which could become road hazards. Additionally, an open trunk can obstruct the view of drivers behind, compromising their driving safety. However, in practice, traffic police usually do not intervene. Even if caught, the typical reason cited is "mixing passengers with cargo," and the usual response is a verbal warning rather than a penalty. However, transporting hazardous materials can result in fines and demerit points. Relevant laws and regulations: "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China" Article 54: The load of a motor vehicle shall not exceed the permitted load capacity specified on the vehicle's registration certificate, and the length and width of the load shall not exceed the dimensions of the vehicle body. The following provisions shall also be observed: 1. For heavy and medium-duty trucks and semi-trailers, the height of the load from the ground shall not exceed 4 meters, and for container transport vehicles, it shall not exceed 4.2 meters; 2. For other motor vehicles carrying cargo, the height of the load from the ground shall not exceed 2.5 meters; 3. For motorcycles, the height of the load from the ground shall not exceed 1.5 meters, and the length shall not exceed the body by 0.2 meters. For two-wheeled motorcycles, the width of the load shall not exceed the handlebars by 0.15 meters on each side; for three-wheeled motorcycles, the width of the load shall not exceed the body; 4. Passenger vehicles, except for external roof racks and built-in luggage compartments, shall not carry cargo. For roof racks on passenger vehicles, the height of the load from the roof shall not exceed 0.5 meters, and the total height from the ground shall not exceed 4 meters.

What does the N on an automatic transmission mean?

N on an automatic transmission stands for Neutral. This gear can be used when starting the car, towing, or during temporary stops (such as at a red light). To prevent the vehicle from rolling on a slope, always press the brake when in Neutral. For brief stops, you can place the shift lever in this position and pull the parking brake lever, allowing your right foot to move off the brake pedal for a short rest. When the gearshift is in this position, the transmission idles, and the engine's power is not transmitted to the drive wheels, meaning there is no driving or braking effect on the wheels. Avoid shifting to Neutral (N) while driving at high speeds or going downhill, as this causes the transmission output shaft to rotate at high speeds while the engine idles, leading to insufficient oil supply from the pump, worsening lubrication conditions, and potentially damaging the transmission.
