Question 6115

Is it allowed to drive with the doors or the trunk open to increase cargo capacity?

  1. No, except in vehicles intended for transporting goods.
  2. No.
  3. The doors may not be open, but the trunk may be if it is secured so that the load cannot fall out.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: No.

No. Driving with any door open, including the trunk lid, is prohibited. It makes no difference whether the load is tied down or the vehicle is a goods vehicle. In the image, the van has a rear door open to fit the ladder, and that is not allowed even with a V-20 panel.
