Chemz Clutched February 21, 2007 Share February 21, 2007 won't affect much... don't worry abt it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ 1st Gear February 21, 2007 Share February 21, 2007 No need to worry.... Only thing is that 1 adult does is not belted so not that safe! Remember it is not just the unbelted adult's problem.. Depending on whether he is seated on the left or right, his head could slam into the back of the front seat passenger or driver and injure him/her. Anyone know if insurance (you know how unscrupulous they are) will decide not to pay because you have exceeded the capacity of the car as determined in the log card?

Pisces69 6th Gear February 21, 2007 Share February 21, 2007 If u observe your log card, it will state how many passengers u r allowed to carry. If u exceed that, the ins co might not pay if they can prove that the accident was caused by overcrowding. But seriously, taking 5 pax + 1 driver is not too bad except for the cramped seating behind. If the pax don't mind then just take lah, but drive slow & carefully cos your car will handle differently when heavily loaded. If u do it very often, then your suspension & tyres will suffer. So will your FC. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
