Question 7440

May a pipe of indivisible length protrude from the front of the vehicle?

  1. Yes, in any type of vehicle.
  2. Yes, but only in vehicles used exclusively for transporting goods.
  3. No, except in the case of special transport.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Yes, but only in vehicles used exclusively for transporting goods.

Yes, on a vehicle used exclusively for goods, like the truck in the image. A pipe may protrude at the front by up to 2 meters if the vehicle is over 5 meters long, or by one-third of the vehicle's length if it is 5 meters long or less. On a passenger car or another vehicle not used exclusively for goods, the load must not protrude at the front.
