Will private cars be checked for overloading?
1 Answers
Overloading checks are conducted at highway entry and exit ramps, especially on weekends and major holidays. Relevant details are as follows: 1. Penalties: 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 penalty. Vehicles that are overloaded but less than 20% (such as buses or school buses) will also be penalized. Note that if a family car is overloaded by 20%, it will be penalized (for example, 6 people in a 5-seat car). 2. Points: Driving a passenger vehicle other than an operational passenger vehicle (excluding buses) or school bus with passengers exceeding the approved capacity by less than 20% will result in a 3-point penalty.
