Question 4547
In a vehicle under 5 meters in length intended for carrying goods, how far may an indivisible load extend beyond the front?
- 15% of the vehicle's length.
- One-third of the vehicle's length.
- Not at all; it may only extend beyond the rear.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: One-third of the vehicle's length.
On a goods vehicle 5 meters long or less, a load that is indivisible lengthwise, like the beams in the image, may extend beyond the front by one-third of the vehicle’s length and beyond the rear by another third. The 15% limit applies to an indivisible load extending beyond the rear of a passenger car, which must not carry anything extending beyond the front.
