Have a question to ask you, general home commonly used car carrying five people are limited, if the car has been sitting in five adults (including the driver), one of them holding a hand another child, this is the case, be overloading ?

Many people believe that infants not occupying a seat, almost no additional weight, certainly not overloaded. In fact, traffic law provisions on "overcrowding" in, does not provide for the passenger's height, weight, age, etc., but only provides for a "number." So, if you just look overcrowding driving license is approved on a few people, even a baby one more person is considered overcrowding.

"Traffic Act" provides that: limit minibus carrying five people overload one person, more than the approved number of less than 20?should be subject to a fine of $ 200, 3 points penalty!

So every time someone asked the bus is not overloaded Why so many people?

Related personnel answer: buses are not calculated according to the number of seats, but according to volume, in accordance with the relevant national standards, buses UNLIKELY overloaded.

According to the Ministry of Construction issued in 2001, "Urban Construction System Indicators", is calculated bus passenger capacity is rated: median = passenger compartment fixed number of passenger seats + carriage effective standing area (square meters) allowed to stand per square meter number.

In the national standard, "per square meter allow persons to stand" up to 8 people.

So, please be sure to pay attention to private owners, travel by car do not leave things to chance, once overloaded, it will outweigh the benefits.
