What is the penalty for a private 7-seater car carrying nine people?

[Jacob]

7-seater car carrying nine people is considered overloading behavior. According to relevant laws and regulations, a fine will be imposed, and the driver's license will be deducted 6 points. The penalty depends on the specific situation, such as whether it is an overloaded passenger transport vehicle, other passenger vehicles, or a truck. Different vehicles have different penalties.

After the last gathering, my friends and I wanted to go home together, so we squeezed nine people into a seven-seater car. We were stopped by traffic police for inspection right after leaving the neighborhood, fined 200 yuan, and had three points deducted from our license. The car was so crowded that the body noticeably wobbled when braking, nearly causing a rear-end collision. That was a profound lesson—overloading isn't just about fines; vehicle design has load limits, and too many passengers affect handling and braking performance. Now, I always strictly count heads before trips, arranging taxis or separate rides for extras. Safety first—don’t let convenience turn into tragedy.
