Question 7420

In a passenger car, if the load or luggage does not fit in the trunk, may it be placed on the rear seats?

  1. Yes, but only for small or lightweight objects.
  2. Yes, provided that no one is riding in the rear seat.
  3. Yes, always, keeping in mind that it can be thrown forward.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Yes, always, keeping in mind that it can be thrown forward.

Yes. Anything that does not fit in the trunk may go on the rear seats, like the boxes in the image, but it must be secured because sudden braking or a crash sends it flying forward. It must not block your view either. It makes no difference whether it is small or no one is sitting in the back.
