In Spain, the General Traffic Regulations (RGC) allow cars to carry a load on the roof rack as long as it does not affect the vehicle's stability. This is because a badly placed load can seriously affect the vehicle's handling and safety, increasing the risk of accidents. Under the rules, it is essential that the load does not stick out dangerously and does not block the driver's view.
