Question 4662
In a truck less than 5 meters long, how far may an indivisible load overhang at most?
- One-third of the vehicle's length, both at the front and at the rear.
- Three meters at the rear and nothing at the front.
- Two meters at the front and three meters at the rear.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: One-third of the vehicle's length, both at the front and at the rear.
On a truck 5 meters long or less, a long indivisible load, like the beams in the image, may extend beyond the front by up to one-third of the truck’s length and beyond the rear by another third. The limits of 2 meters at the front and 3 meters at the rear apply to vehicles more than 5 meters long.
