Show answer

Correct answer

  • BNo.No.
Explanation

You are not allowed to drive a car if the load sticks out at the sides of the vehicle. In vehicles not used exclusively for carrying goods, the load may stick out only at the back, and only up to 10% of the vehicle's length, or up to 15% if the load is indivisible. Nothing may stick out at the front or the sides, so a ladder or any other object coming out of the side windows would not be allowed.
