Correct answer

  • AEl 15% de la largura del vehículo.15% of the vehicle's length.
Explanation

On cars, if the load being carried is indivisible, it may not stick out at the front or the sides, but it may stick out at the back by up to 15 % of the vehicle's length. If, on the other hand, the load is divisible, it may not stick out at the sides or the front either, but it may stick out at the back by up to 10 % of the vehicle's total length.
