Correct answer

  • ASí, cuando no comprometa la estabilidad del vehículo.Yes, when it does not affect the vehicle's stability.
Explanation

You may carry a load on the roof rack as long as it is well secured, cannot fall or shift, and does not affect the vehicle's stability. The load may stick out at the rear within the legal limits, but its weight up high raises the centre of gravity, so you must drive more smoothly.
