I am teaching a lesson on ecodriving .On
the pre- reading stage we dealt with practical tips to drive sensibly
.I got puzzled with a phrase related to excess weight/too many
passengers on the same vehicle.could you please my dear colleagues
suggest a tip for that.It is not to "travel light".I mean not to bring a lot of people in the same vehicle.thx

Do you refer to seating capacity and the number of seats that are available in a vehicle?If a car can only seat 3 people in the back, for example, it would be dangerous to have more. The passengers can �t make use of the seatbelts and it wouldn �t be very comfortable.
I hope that helps. If not, can you explain more specifically what tip you need? Do you need some suggestions for how to explain the phrase to students?

I meant that an eco driver should not seat more than his /her car seating capacity.

Hi akram
We in Australia say �overload � aswell. In fact, some vehicles have overload warning alarms.
Cheers
