Question 5018

Is a passenger car's load allowed to stick out at the sides?

  1. No.
  2. Yes, as long as it is properly marked.
  3. Only if it does not compromise the vehicle's stability.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: No.

No. On a passenger car, the load must not extend beyond the sides, even if you mark it or it does not affect stability. This also applies to the roof rack, like the mattress in the image that is wider than the car. The load may extend only beyond the rear, within a limit.
