Correct answer

  • BHasta un 15% de la longitud del vehículo.Up to 15% of the length of the vehicle.
Explanation

Under Article 15 of the General Traffic Regulations (RGC), in vehicles not used exclusively for goods, an indivisible load may stick out at the back by up to 15% of the length of the vehicle, not of the load. If the load is divisible, the limit is 10%.
