Number of passengers in a two door car

[Stressedout65]

My small 2 door hatch back has an official weight limit for passengers/luggage etc of 679kg, or 106 stones. Driver is about 12 stones, 1 passenger about 9 stone, 1 passenger 19 stone & the other 2 are about 13 stone, 66 stones. The 19 stone, 9 stone & 13 stone one were squashed in the back but still managed to get seat belts on. My dh has gone mad, saying its too much weight & if an accident had happened I'd be in trouble. The load was under the weight limit so who's bu, me or him?

I have never once paid any attention to the weight limit of my car!

Him

Did you ask their weight before they got in?

If it had 5 seatbelts I would assume it could take 5 adults (although 4 would be more comfortable). I didn’t even realise my car had a weight limit.

If a car is designated as 3/ 4/5 seater it’s ok. Any more persons in it is not insured also the car becomes unstable by physics

Are you saying the combined weight of everyone was 66 stone and the car can hold 106 stone? So why would it be an issue?
Anyway I would assume a 2 door car could hold 5 people, wouldn't even consider their weight providing they could all fit

If it has 3 seatbelts in the back and obviously the driver and front passenger then it holds 5, If it just has two seatbelts in the back then it holds 4

@overthethamesfromyou if he'd have been there then there'd probably have been a weigh in 😁
But to me If there's 5 seatbelts & not over the weight limit then its OK for 5 adults. He still says it wouldn't do the suspension any good with that much weight in the back Fat shaming or what!

@FloatingAlien exactly my point. Combined weight limit is 106 stone, actual weight was 66 stone, so what is the problem? 5 seatbelts for 5 people. Wouldn't do the suspension any good with all that weight at the back he says. He is one of those super fussy about their cars men,

This reads like a school maths question and I allergic goodbye
