Question 7430

May luggage on a passenger car's roof rack extend beyond the sides?

  1. Yes, when the luggage is wide and cannot be divided.
  2. No.
  3. Yes, but the total width must be less than 2.5 meters.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: No.

No. A load on a passenger car's roof rack must not protrude at the sides, even if it is wide and indivisible. The rule allowing 0.40 meters on each side up to a total width of 2.55 meters applies to goods vehicles. In the image, the load on the roof rack is wider than the car, and that is not allowed.
