Will placing a box in the passenger seat be photographed?
2 Answers
Placing a box in the passenger seat will not be photographed if the length, width, height, and other dimensions of the box meet the loading requirements. Below are the specific regulations for vehicle cargo: Front and rear window area: It is not allowed to hang or place items within the front and rear windows of the vehicle's cab that obstruct the driver's view. Cargo standards: The cargo carried by the vehicle must comply with the approved load capacity, and overloading is strictly prohibited; the length, width, and height of the cargo must not violate loading requirements, and the cargo must not spill or scatter. Penalty provisions: Violations of road traffic safety laws and regulations regarding road traffic rules by the driver will result in a warning.
I used to like keeping some stuff on the front passenger seat while driving, but later a friend told me it's risky. Placing a box on the passenger seat can easily get you photographed because traffic cameras monitor the car's interior. If the box is too big and blocks the view or looks like an unbuckled passenger, the system automatically recognizes it and takes a photo. Once when I was moving, I put a large box there and got fined for placing items on the non-driver seat that affected safety. The fine is minor compared to safety concerns: if the passenger airbag deploys, the box could injure someone, and blocked vision during turns could cause accidents. Now I've developed a habit of always putting bags or boxes in the back seat or trunk—it's worry-free and saves money. If I occasionally forget, I make sure the items are small and don't obstruct the view, but it's best not to take the risk to avoid regrets.
