Correct answer
- ANo, porque es peligroso.No, because it is dangerous.
Explanation
No vehicle may be driven above its maximum authorised mass, which is the highest mass at which it can travel safely. Excess weight lengthens braking, overloads the tyres and suspension and reduces stability, and it is penalised.
