What are the penalties and demerit points for mixed passenger and cargo transportation in vans?
1 Answers
Mixed passenger and cargo transportation in vans will result in a fine ranging from 500 to 2,000 yuan and 6 demerit points. Below are precautions for van operation: 1. Pre-departure vehicle inspection: Check tire appearance and pressure, test brakes, and carefully listen to the engine sound before entering the highway. Engine oil should also be inspected. In fact, most van breakdowns on highways are caused by engine damage due to overheating. Although many vans don't use antifreeze, it's necessary to ensure sufficient coolant in the radiator during trips. 2. Even load distribution: Vans are primarily used for cargo transportation, so the load inside should be evenly distributed. Avoid concentrating weight only on the left side or rear, as this can cause uneven tire wear, affect vehicle handling at high speeds, and increase the risk of losing control.
