Correct answer
- ANo.No.
The correct option is 'No' because the maximum authorised mass (MAM) of a vehicle is the maximum weight it may reach, including the vehicle itself, the driver, the passengers and the luggage. If the difference between the maximum authorised mass and the unladen weight of the car is 350 kilograms, you may only load up to 350 kilograms in total. Carrying 550 kilograms exceeds this limit, which is not allowed and can be dangerous.
