By how many authorized seats, excluding the driver, must a vehicle be exceeded for it to be immobilized?
Traffic rules
Explanation
To immobilize a vehicle due to excess passengers, it is necessary for the authorized seats, excluding the driver, to have increased by **50%**. This is because transporting more people than allowed can affect the safety of the vehicle and its occupants.
- **Excess load**: Just like with weight, exceeding the number of passengers can overload the vehicle, affecting components such as tires and braking and acceleration systems.
- **Safety**: An overloaded vehicle can lose stability, increasing the risk of accidents.
- **Regulations**: Transport regulations set clear limits to avoid dangerous situations and ensure that the vehicle operates within its safe capacities.
Therefore, a 50% increase in authorized seats is the threshold that justifies immobilizing the vehicle to prevent risks.
