Does 4 adults and 2 children count as overloading? What are the penalties?

If it is a five-seater car, it is overloaded. If there are 6 people in it, the overload is 20%.

1. According to Article 92 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China": If a highway passenger vehicle carries more passengers than the rated number of passengers, a fine of not less than 200 yuan but not more than 500 yuan will be imposed; Anyone who exceeds 20% of the rated membership or carries cargo in violation of regulations shall be fined not less than RMB 500 but not more than RMB 2,000.

2. If a passenger bus or school bus carries less than 20% of the rated occupancy, it will be fined 300 yuan and 6 points will be deducted; if it exceeds 20% of the rated occupancy or if it carries cargo in violation of regulations, it will be fined 1,500 yuan and 12 demerits will be imposed. point. If a bus is overloaded by less than 20%, the driver will be deducted 6 points and fined 300 yuan.

Dangers of overloading:

1. Overloading has caused great harm to the healthy development of the transportation market. Overloading has caused market chaos and completely destroyed the basic price formation system of the transportation market. Under normal circumstances in the past, transportation pricing was based on the cubic meter and weight of the goods. It's a complete mess now. Nowadays, the price is negotiated and the price is calculated based on the whole vehicle.

2. Overloading of vehicles seriously pollutes the atmospheric environment. In order to obtain greater traction power, overloaded vehicles often drive at low gears and with large accelerators. The engine oil is not fully burned, resulting in excessive exhaust gas emissions, excessive noise, and serious pollution of the atmospheric environment.

3. The problem of overloading in logistics transportation has also seriously affected the safety of drivers themselves. For every one ton of overload of the vehicle, the brakes will be extended by one meter. In the event of an emergency, if not handled properly, traffic accidents will occur.

4. The wear and tear of vehicle parts increases and the life of the vehicle decreases sharply. Overloading a motor vehicle will cause the engine body to overheat, leading to accelerated wear of parts and excessive fuel consumption; the pressure on the tires will be greater than the rated load, which may easily cause a tire blowout. If a tire suddenly blows out while driving, a rollover accident may easily occur.

5. Damage to road surface. The total mass of an overloaded vehicle is too large, which increases the pressure on the road surface, the friction generated by braking and the centrifugal force of turning, thereby increasing the friction and crushing damage to the road surface. Due to the serious damage to highways due to overloading of large engineering vehicles, some urban roads and township roads have entered the overhaul period ahead of schedule.

6. Vehicle overloading will reduce vehicle braking, steering and other performance. Due to the doubling of the total load mass, the acceleration capability is reduced, the braking effect on slopes is weakened, and the turning sensitivity is reduced, which increases the hidden dangers of accidents such as failed braking, slides, and tire blowouts. Many engineering vehicles are overloaded and are also accompanied by speeding violations. Due to the strong inertia during rapid driving with heavy loads, traffic accidents are very likely to occur in emergencies. Once an accident occurs, the consequences are often very serious.
