Correct answer

  • ANo.No.
Explanation

When a load is carried in a car, it may not stick out at the sides or at the front of the vehicle; it may only stick out at the back. If the load is indivisible, it may stick out at the back of the car by up to 15% of the vehicle's total length. If, on the other hand, the load is divisible, it may only stick out by 10% of the car's total length.
