Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Yes, up to 15 percent of the vehicle's length.

Yes. On vehicles not used exclusively for carrying goods, such as a passenger car, an indivisible load may extend beyond the rear by up to 15% of the vehicle’s length. The 10% limit applies to divisible loads. Motorcycles and other vehicles less than 1 meter wide have their own limits. In the image, the ladder extends beyond the rear with its V-20 panel.
