Correct answer
No, because the authorised number of seats would be exceeded.
In a nine-seat car, including the driver's seat, nine minors cannot travel because the authorised number of seats would be exceeded. A vehicle's maximum capacity is determined by the number of seats it has. In this case, the car has nine seats, including the driver's seat. Seat Occupancy Regardless of Age: Each passenger, regardless of age, occupies one seat. This means that the authorised number of seats cannot be exceeded by passengers, even if they are minors. Safety Regulations: Road safety regulations stipulate that the number of people transported in a vehicle must not exceed the number of authorised seats. Maximum Authorised Mass (MAM): In addition to the number of seats, the vehicle's MAM must also be considered, including the weight of the people transported and their luggage. Exceeding the vehicle's MAM may also be grounds for not allowing nine minors to travel in a nine-seat car.
