Question 5093

As a general rule, what is the maximum permitted height, including the load, for a passenger car to be allowed on the road?

  1. 3 meters.
  2. 4 meters.
  3. 4.20 meters.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: 4 meters.

As a general rule, no vehicle may exceed 4 meters in height, including its load, and that applies to the passenger car with luggage on its roof rack in the image. The 4.20-meter limit is an exception for urban buses, and 3 meters is not a general limit.
