What are the penalties for carrying 11 people in a 7-seater vehicle?
1 Answers
A 7-seater vehicle carrying 11 people constitutes an 80% overload, which will result in a fine and 6 penalty points. Overloaded vehicles bear loads far exceeding the design capacity of roads and bridges, leading to pavement damage and bridge fractures. Increased mass leads to greater inertia, longer braking distances, and higher risks. Vehicles are manufactured based on predetermined technical specifications, including load limits. Overloading alters these original design parameters.
