However, if a private car is carrying the owner's personal belongings, it generally does not violate regulations. Obstructing the rearview mirror is a violation: If items placed on the back seat are too large or too numerous, obstructing the rearview mirror, this constitutes a violation.

Seat back cushions cannot be too high: Rear seat back cushions should also not be too high, as this can obstruct the rear view and create safety hazards.
