Penalty standard for private car overload: 6 points will be deducted if the number of people in other passenger cars exceeds 20% of the authorized number, and 3 points will be deducted if the number of people in passenger cars other than operating buses (excluding buses) and school buses exceeds 20% of the authorized number.
 Generally, the number of people in private cars is limited to 5. As long as one more person is taken, the proportion of overcrowding is as high as 20%. Therefore, a little carelessness may lead to heavy fines. If it exceeds 20%, 6 points will be deducted and 200 yuan will be fined.
