Will motorcycles be caught by electronic surveillance for overloading?

Motorcycles will be caught by electronic surveillance for overloading. Overloading a motorcycle means carrying more than three people, including the rider. Even if the rider has all the necessary documents and everyone is wearing helmets, it still counts as overloading. Traffic police will impose a fine of 200 yuan and deduct three points from the driver's license. Regulations for riding motorcycles: Obtain a motorcycle license plate, vehicle registration certificate, and the rider must have a motorcycle driver's license; purchase compulsory traffic insurance; only the seat area is allowed for passengers, no other parts of the motorcycle can carry people; only one passenger is allowed, meaning the maximum number of people on a motorcycle is two; the rear seat cannot carry children under 12 years old; passengers must sit facing forward, not sideways; lightweight motorcycles are not allowed to carry passengers; helmets must be worn while riding. Precautions for riding motorcycles: When starting, slowly lift the clutch pedal with your left foot. When you hear the engine sound change or feel a slight vibration, gently press the throttle pedal with your right foot while slowly lifting the clutch pedal. Avoid sudden movements. When changing lanes, observe the road conditions carefully and ensure it is safe before merging; never force a lane change. When making a U-turn or turning, reduce speed and shift gears, yield to oncoming traffic, and do not rush. When reversing or parking, pay attention to the surroundings to avoid collisions with other vehicles.
Motorcycles carrying overload can indeed be caught by electronic surveillance, especially in congested or densely populated urban areas. Electronic eyes are typically cameras installed at highway intersections or traffic lights, which monitor violations through video analysis and image recognition. If a motorcycle carries too many passengers or goods, the cameras can detect abnormal dimensions or load scenarios and automatically record them. However, not all electronic surveillance systems have this capability—many areas still rely on manual police checks to catch overloading. My advice is: Riders must adhere to load limits, such as carrying no more than two passengers or the specified weight. Overloading not only risks fines and penalty points but may also lead to accidents due to loss of balance. Safety should always come first—don’t take unnecessary risks just to save trouble.
