Correct answer

  • BNo.No.
Explanation

You are not allowed to drive with the tailgate open. When the load cannot go in the boot of your car, remember: - Only light, small objects may go in the passenger compartment, because they can be thrown around and injure the occupants. - Heavy, bulky objects on the roof rack can make the vehicle unstable and may even make it overturn. They also increase fuel consumption. If the load cannot be carried in the boot, the passenger compartment or on the roof rack, it may not be carried.
