Correct answer
- BSí, si se coloca correctamenteYes, if it is placed correctly
Yes, it is allowed. As a general rule, luggage should go in the boot. However, if the boot is not big enough, you may use the roof rack or an outside luggage carrier, as long as the load is placed and secured correctly. It must be secured so that it cannot fall, move about dangerously, affect the vehicle's stability or hide the lights or the number plate. The option about the number of passengers is wrong, because using the roof rack does not depend on how many people are in the vehicle.
