Question 7417

On a two-wheeled motorcycle, is it allowed to carry an indivisible load that, because of its dimensions, protrudes laterally from the vehicle?

  1. Yes, it may protrude up to 15% of its length on each side.
  2. Yes, although it may not protrude more than 0.50 meters to either side of the centerline of the motorcycle.
  3. No, it may only protrude 25 centimeters at the rear.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Yes, although it may not protrude more than 0.50 meters to either side of the centerline of the motorcycle.

Yes. On a vehicle less than 1 m wide, such as a motorcycle, the load may extend up to 0.50 m to either side of its centerline. The centerline runs down the middle of the motorcycle. The load must not extend beyond the front, and may extend no more than 0.25 m beyond the rear. In the image, the board extends out on both sides.
