Which statement about how passengers and cargo may be carried is NOT correct?
Standards for carrying people and for loading cargo are set separately, and exceptions are allowed with permission from the police station chief (Article 39 of the Road Traffic Act and Article 22 of its Enforcement Decree). Watch for a statement that simply applies the cargo margin to passengers, and note that this question asks for the incorrect statement.
Answer: ①
Explanation
Article 22, item 1 of the Enforcement Decree limits passengers to the vehicle's seating capacity, so carrying up to 110 percent is wrong. The 110 percent figure is the load-weight standard for trucks. Securing cargo (Article 39(4)), not driving while holding an infant or animal (Article 39(5)), and the exception with a police station chief's permission (proviso to Article 39(1)) are all correct.
