Correct answer

  • BEl 15% de la longitud del vehículo.15% of the vehicle's length.
Explanation

According to the General Traffic Regulations (RGC), on vehicles not used only for carrying goods, the load may stick out at the back by up to 10% of the vehicle's length. However, if the load is indivisible, it may stick out by up to 15% of the vehicle's length. So the correct option is 15% of the vehicle's length, as this refers to an indivisible load, which matches the rules.
