Will I Be Photographed If the Trunk Can't Close Due to Overloading?

You will not be photographed if the trunk can't close due to overloading. Here are the details regarding traffic violation photography: 1. Photography Details: If the trunk cannot close because it is overloaded, this does not constitute a traffic violation, and traffic cameras will not capture it. However, an unsecured trunk may pose safety hazards such as items falling out, creating road obstacles, and affecting the safety of vehicles behind. Therefore, if caught by traffic police, you may receive a corresponding ticket. 2. Function: The trunk is an independent space. In SUV models, the trunk and the rear seats can be interconnected. The trunk space in SUVs can be flexibly adjusted by moving the rear seats according to the amount of luggage.
I was really worried about getting caught by traffic cameras when my trunk couldn't close due to overloading. Last time, I transported some furniture, and the boxes were stacked so high that the lid got stuck. As a result, a police car flashed its lights at me in the city, and the officer said an unsecured trunk lid obstructs the view and could easily cause an accident—I almost got fined 200 yuan. Actually, traffic regulations state that cargo cannot extend too far beyond the vehicle body; otherwise, it's considered overloading or blocking the rear window. If caught by electronic surveillance or a patrol car, it could lead to a penalty. Especially on highways, cameras capture violations more frequently. My personal lesson is to measure the trunk dimensions in advance, transport goods in batches, or use straps to secure them to avoid gaps. Safety comes first—if the trunk really can't close, it's best to stop and fix the issue immediately rather than push your luck. Getting fined is minor compared to the risk of causing a rear-end collision. Now, I always check for gaps before loading anything.
