Correct answer

  • CNo podrá sobresalir nada lateralmente.It may not stick out at the sides at all.
Explanation

As a general rule, the load may not stick out beyond the outline of the vehicle seen from above. In exceptional cases, on vehicles not intended to carry goods, such as cars, the load may stick out at the back: up to 10% of the vehicle's length if the load is divisible; up to 15% of the vehicle's length if the load is indivisible. It may not stick out at the front or at the sides.
