Question 2491

If you drive a van whose load extends beyond the rear and you cannot close the rear door, you must know that…

  1. You must mark the load with one or two panels with red and white stripes.
  2. You cannot drive.
  3. You must securely fasten the doors and the load, and properly mark the situation.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: You cannot drive.

The load must not prevent the rear doors from remaining closed while driving. Securing the doors or marking an overhanging load does not replace that requirement.
