Removing seats from a van will result in point deductions. The penalty for removing seats from a van is that the traffic management department of the public security authorities will order the restoration of the original condition and impose a warning or a fine. Relevant information: 1. Regulations: No unit or individual may assemble a motor vehicle or alter the registered structure, construction, or characteristics of a motor vehicle without authorization. 2. Penalties: Those who alter the appearance of a motor vehicle or its registered technical data without authorization will face corresponding penalties once discovered by the public security department. Below are common traffic violations: 1. Running a red light: Running a red light is the most common violation. Since the new traffic regulations were introduced, running a red light results in an immediate deduction of 6 points. 2. Driving without a license: For driving during the period when a motor vehicle driver's license is temporarily suspended, a fine and 15 days of detention will be imposed. For driving without obtaining a motor vehicle driver's license or driving with a revoked license, 15 days of detention and a fine will be imposed. 3. Overloading or overcrowding: For passenger vehicles exceeding the rated passenger capacity by less than 20% or freight vehicles exceeding the rated load capacity by less than 30%, a fine will be imposed.

Removing seats from a minivan can indeed lead to penalties, including demerit points, a topic I often hear fellow drivers discuss on the road. It largely depends on your local traffic enforcement. Unauthorized modification of a vehicle's structure violates traffic laws, and if caught by the police, you'll receive a ticket with fines typically ranging from 200 to 500 yuan, along with demerit points, usually starting from 2 points. Removing seats alters the interior space, significantly reducing safety protections. In the event of an accident, occupants are more likely to be injured or thrown out. I advise against私自拆卸座椅, especially for minivans intended for cargo—there are正规途径 to install隔离栏s. It's best to consult or apply with the vehicle management office to avoid losing points over minor issues, which could affect your next vehicle inspection. Safety first; following the rules saves both peace of mind and money.
