What is the penalty for having 6 people in a 5-seater car under the new traffic regulations?
1 Answers
Traffic laws stipulate that having six people in a five-seater car will result in a 3-point deduction and a fine of 100 yuan. For non-commercial vehicles, exceeding the approved number of passengers by less than 20% results in a 3-point deduction and a fine of 100 yuan; exceeding by 20% or more results in a 6-point deduction and a fine of 200 yuan. The hazards of vehicle overloading are as follows: 1. Vehicle overloading severely damages road infrastructure: Overloaded vehicles exert loads far exceeding the design capacity of roads and bridges, leading to pavement damage, bridge fractures, and significantly shortened service life. 2. Vehicle overloading increases the vehicle's mass and inertia, lengthening braking distance and increasing danger: Severe overloading can cause tire blowouts, sudden swerving, brake failure, rollovers, and other accidents due to excessive tire load and deformation. Additionally, overloading affects the vehicle's steering performance, increasing the risk of accidents due to loss of control. 3. Accidents: Drivers of overloaded vehicles often experience increased psychological stress and mental pressure, leading to operational errors and compromising driving safety, resulting in traffic accidents. 4. Traffic flow: Overloaded vehicles cannot maintain normal speeds, occupying lanes for extended periods, directly affecting road traffic flow.
