By what percentage must the occupancy of authorized seats (excluding the driver) be exceeded for agents to proceed with the immobilization of the vehicle?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is by 50%. According to Traffic Law and Road Safety regulations, authorities will immobilize the vehicle when excessive occupancy increases the number of authorized seats by 50%, excluding the driver's seat. This extreme measure is taken because such a high excess severely compromises vehicle stability, braking distance, and, most importantly, implies that several occupants are traveling without seatbelts or restraint systems, drastically increasing the risk of fatal injuries in the event of an accident.
