Can the number of people carried in a vehicle be higher than the number of authorized seats for that vehicle?
Traffic safety: Transported persons and cargo
Explanation
The number of people who can travel in a vehicle **cannot exceed the number of authorized seats** for that vehicle. This means that, for example, in a car with five seats, only five people can travel. Each passenger must occupy their own seat throughout the journey and not move to other spaces in the vehicle.
Additionally, the driver must ensure that all passengers are properly seated and that the load is well distributed so as not to interfere with driving. This is important to maintain the safety and control of the vehicle.
Therefore, **it is prohibited** to transport more people than the vehicle is authorized to carry, as this could compromise the safety of all occupants and the vehicle itself.
