Question 2752

May you carry cargo other than luggage on your passenger car's roof rack?

  1. Yes, provided the cargo does not extend beyond the vehicle's body.
  2. Yes, provided the cargo is suitable for the vehicle's characteristics, does not compromise its stability and, where applicable, is properly marked.
  3. No, because it is prohibited.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Yes, provided the cargo is suitable for the vehicle's characteristics, does not compromise its stability and, where applicable, is properly marked.

A roof rack is not reserved exclusively for luggage. It may carry other cargo if it is suitable for the passenger car, properly positioned and secured, does not compromise the car's stability, and has any required warning markings.
