In a car with five seats, including the driver, is it permitted for 6 people to travel in it?

Correct answer

No, because the authorised number of seats cannot be exceeded.

It is not permitted for 6 people to travel in a car with five seats, including the driver. As drivers, we have an obligation to ensure that the number of people carried does not exceed the number of seats authorised for the vehicle, regardless of the passengers' ages. If it has a maximum of 5 seats including the driver, 6 people may under no circumstances travel in it, even if one of them is a child. This is essential for maintaining control of the vehicle and ensuring that all passengers are properly seated and wearing their seatbelts, avoiding any interference with driving.
