  • ASí, pero teniendo en cuenta que no moleste a los viajeros, reste libertad de movimientos o disminuya el campo de visión del conductor y además vaya bien sujeto.Yes, but it must not disturb the passengers, restrict the driver's freedom of movement or reduce the driver's field of vision, and it must also be well secured.
Explanation

If the load does not fit in the boot, it may go inside the vehicle, as long as it does not interfere with the driver's view or movements. We must also remember that if the vehicle hits a rigid object, it will stop suddenly, but a load that is not properly secured will keep moving at the speed the vehicle had before the impact, with harmful consequences for the occupants.
