What is the penalty for overloading one person in a 5-seater car?
1 Answers
Overloading one person in a 5-seater car results in a deduction of 6 points. Driving an operational passenger vehicle exceeding the approved capacity by less than 20%, or driving other passenger vehicles exceeding the approved capacity by more than 20%, will result in a one-time deduction of 6 points. Driving an operational passenger vehicle exceeding the approved capacity by more than 20% will result in a one-time deduction of 12 points. According to relevant regulations, children are also counted as one passenger, so an adult holding a child in one seat is considered overloading and will be subject to the same penalty and point deduction for overloading a sedan. The penalty standards for truck overloading are as follows: Overloading is extremely harmful to the lifespan of a vehicle, leading to increased fuel consumption, accelerated cylinder wear, burnt clutch plates, and broken frames and leaf springs. Overloading also seriously endangers driving safety, as severe overloading can cause tire blowouts, leading to sudden vehicle deviation. Overloading also severely affects the steering performance of the vehicle, making steering heavy and prone to rollover accidents.
