Will points be deducted for overloading a sedan?
1 Answers
Overloading a sedan will result in point deductions, with varying penalties depending on the circumstances. Here are the relevant details: Detailed information: Driving an operational passenger vehicle (excluding buses) or school bus with passengers exceeding the approved capacity by less than 20%, or driving other passenger vehicles with passengers exceeding the approved capacity by more than 20%, will result in a 6-point deduction; driving passenger vehicles other than operational passenger vehicles (excluding buses) or school buses with passengers exceeding the approved capacity by less than 20%, will result in a 3-point deduction. Impact of overloading: Vehicle overloading severely damages road infrastructure. Increased load mass leads to greater inertia, longer braking distances, and higher risks. Drivers operating overloaded vehicles often experience increased psychological stress and mental pressure, making them prone to operational errors, affecting driving safety, and potentially causing traffic accidents. Overloaded vehicles cannot maintain normal driving speeds, occupying lanes for extended periods, directly impacting road traffic flow.
