What is the penalty for riding in the trunk?

[HazelLynn]

Riding in the trunk is considered illegal overloading. For driving a commercial passenger vehicle (excluding buses) or school bus with passengers exceeding the approved capacity by less than 20%, or driving other passenger vehicles with passengers exceeding the approved capacity by more than 20%, 6 demerit points will be recorded; for driving passenger vehicles other than commercial passenger vehicles (excluding buses) or school buses with passengers exceeding the approved capacity by less than 20%, 3 demerit points will be recorded. The following are the reasons why riding in the trunk is prohibited: 1. The trunk is only allowed for storing luggage, and it is extremely unsafe for people to stay inside. Due to poor air circulation in the trunk, there is a high risk of suffocation and other dangerous situations. Additionally, since the trunk is located at the rear of the vehicle, in the event of a rear-end collision, people inside the trunk are highly vulnerable to injury, making it even more dangerous. 2. It is strictly prohibited to carry passengers in the trunk. Drivers should ensure safe travel and strictly prevent accidents.
