What is the penalty for a bus driver, excluding a municipal public transport bus with designated standing places, for carrying more than five persons in excess of the number of seats stated in the vehicle registration document?

Transporting an excessive number of passengers poses a serious threat to road safety, negatively affecting the vehicle's handling characteristics. According to the current regulations, exceeding the permissible number of people by more than five in a bus (with the exceptions indicated in the question) results in the mandatory suspension of the driver's driving licence for a period of three months. This is an administrative penalty applied in the case of a gross violation of the rules for transporting people.
