What is the penalty for overloading an operational vehicle by one person?
1 Answers
Penalties for overloading an operational vehicle by one person are as follows: if the number of passengers exceeds the approved capacity by 20% or more, 12 demerit points will be deducted at once; if the number of passengers exceeds the approved capacity by less than 20%, or if other passenger vehicles carry more than 20% over the approved capacity, 6 demerit points will be deducted at once; if passenger vehicles other than operational buses and school buses carry passengers exceeding the approved capacity by less than 20%, 3 demerit points will be deducted at once. Below is an introduction to operational vehicles: 1. Definition: Operational vehicles refer to vehicles engaged in social transportation and charging freight, or vehicles used for commercial delivery or transportation purposes. Conversely, non-operational vehicles include those used by party and government agencies, social organizations, enterprises, and institutions for their own purposes, or vehicles used solely for personal or family life. Vehicles with dual-use purposes are treated as operational vehicles when insured. 2. Types: Operational passenger vehicles are divided into two categories: passenger cars and buses. Passenger cars comply with the 'Classification of Power-driven Vehicles and Trailers (GB/T15089-2001)' as M1 class (passenger vehicles with no more than nine seats, including the driver's seat). Buses mainly refer to M2 and M3 class vehicles as defined in the 'Classification of Power-driven Vehicles and Trailers (GB/T15089-2001),' specifically B-class and III-class buses.
