What is the penalty for having six people in a five-seater car?

[VanPatrick]

Having six people in a five-seater car results in a fine and 6 demerit points. For passenger vehicles other than commercial buses (excluding public buses) and school buses, carrying passengers exceeding the approved number by less than 20% incurs a fine and 3 demerit points; exceeding the approved number by more than 20% incurs a fine and 6 demerit points. The main hazards of vehicle overloading are: 1. Vehicle overloading severely damages road infrastructure. Since the load of overloaded vehicles far exceeds the design load of roads and bridges, it causes road surface damage, bridge fractures, and significantly shortens their service life; 2. Drivers operating overloaded vehicles often experience increased psychological stress and mental pressure, leading to operational errors, affecting driving safety, and causing traffic accidents; 3. Overloaded vehicles cannot travel at normal speeds, occupying lanes for extended periods, directly affecting road traffic flow.
