Correct answer

  • BNo, como norma general.No, as a general rule.
Explanation

As a general rule, the load may not stick out beyond the vehicle's outline seen from above. On vehicles not intended exclusively for carrying goods, it may only stick out at the rear, by up to 10% of the vehicle's length, or 15% if it is indivisible (Article 15 of the General Traffic Regulations).
