Question 7383

In a passenger car, may more occupants ride than the number of authorized seats?

  1. Yes, as long as the vehicle's maximum authorized mass (MMA) is not exceeded.
  2. Yes, as long as it does not interfere with the driver's position and does not block visibility through the rear window.
  3. No.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: No.

No. A passenger car may carry no more people than its authorized number of seats, counting the driver and every child. Staying below the maximum authorized mass or not interfering with the driver does not allow you to carry one extra person. The image shows six people, four of them in the back.
