Points will be deducted for carrying passengers on a light motorcycle. Below are specific details about carrying passengers on light motorcycles: Regulations: According to Article 90 of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China: If a motor vehicle driver violates road traffic safety laws or regulations regarding road traffic rules, they shall be given a warning or fined, and 1 point will be deducted in accordance with the "Scoring Standards for Road Traffic Violations." Impact: Overloading causes the vehicle to exceed its carrying capacity, increasing the driver's instability during operation, enlarging the vehicle's inertia, extending the braking distance, and correspondingly increasing the risk. Both drivers and passengers should consciously comply with traffic regulations.
As a seasoned motorcycle rider with years of experience, I've seen too many cases of people getting fined for carrying passengers on lightweight motorcycles. Last time on the street, a guy riding a lightweight motorcycle had his girlfriend sitting behind him, and they were immediately stopped by traffic police at an intersection. He got 2 points deducted from his license and a 200-yuan fine. Lightweight motorcycles have small engine displacements and thin wheels, making them prone to losing balance and tipping over when carrying passengers. Traffic regulations have long prohibited carrying passengers on them as a safety precaution. I think this rule is reasonable—safety comes first, above all else. If you're unsure, it's best to check the local traffic regulations handbook or call the traffic police department to confirm the details. In any case, don't take the risk of carrying passengers; riding solo is much safer.
