Correct answer
- CNo, porque es peligroso.No, because it is dangerous.
According to the General Traffic Regulations (RGC), a vehicle may not be driven with a load above its maximum authorised mass (MAM), for road safety reasons. Exceeding the MAM can affect the vehicle's stability, increase braking time and put both the driver and other road users at risk. This rule is essential to prevent accidents and ensure safe traffic. So the correct answer is «No, because it is dangerous».
