What are the penalties for driving with the trunk open?
1 Answers
Driving with the trunk open violates the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law." If the doors or compartments are not properly closed while driving, a fine may be imposed. However, electronic police cameras will not capture this violation. If traffic police notice and stop the vehicle, a ticket will be issued. Several scenarios of driving with the trunk open: 1. Forgetting to close or unable to close: If discovered by police, the driver may receive a warning or fine but no points deduction. 2. Carrying passengers in the trunk: Some medium and large SUVs have trunk space that can easily accommodate two or three people, leading to situations where the trunk is used when seats are insufficient. Aside from safety concerns, if caught by traffic police, this not only results in a fine but also points deduction.
