Chinese experts remind that during vehicle operation, rear passengers must not lie down or fold seats into a bed. All occupants must wear seat belts. Violations CAN result in fines up to 500 yuan, and converting seats into a bed while driving is considered illegal modification. Car manufacturers often fail to warn about this in their advertisements.

The decision stems from a case where a Saxon couple sold a motorhome for €315,000 a few months after purchase. The court classified the motorhome as an item for personal use, which is an exception to the one-year tax rule for private sales.
