Question 7436
On each side of its longitudinal axis, what is the maximum distance that the load may protrude laterally on a vehicle less than one meter wide?
- 15% of the length of the load.
- 0.50 meters.
- 0.40 meters.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: 0.50 meters.
On a vehicle less than one meter wide, like the motorcycle in the image, the load may extend up to 0.50 meters on each side of its longitudinal axis, the line running through its center from front to rear. The 0.40-meter limit on each side applies to wide loads on goods vehicles, and the 15% limit applies at the rear of a passenger car.
