Show answer

Correct answer

  • CNo.No.
Explanation

It is prohibited to drive with the doors or the tailgate open, because the load could fall out and the vehicle becomes less safe (Article 114 of the General Traffic Regulations). If the load does not fit, you must use a suitable means, such as a trailer or a roof rack.
