What are the penalties for overloading a sedan?
1 Answers
If a sedan is overloaded by more than 20% of its rated passenger capacity, 12 demerit points will be deducted at once; if the overload is less than 20% of the rated capacity, or if other passenger vehicles carry more than 20% over the rated capacity, 6 demerit points will be deducted; for passenger vehicles other than commercial buses and school buses, if the overload is less than 20% of the rated capacity, 3 demerit points will be deducted. According to relevant regulations, children are also counted as one passenger, so an adult holding a child in one seat is also considered overloaded driving and will be subject to the same penalty points for sedan overloading. When driving, passengers should be carried strictly in accordance with regulations, and once overloaded, penalty points for sedan overloading will be imposed.
