Correct answer
- CNo.No.
Explanation
Article 15 of the General Traffic Regulations prohibits the load from sticking out beyond the vehicle's outline seen from above. In vehicles not used exclusively for carrying goods, such as a car, the load may only stick out at the rear (10%, or 15% if it is indivisible), never at the sides.
