Show answer
Correct answer
- AEstá prohibidaIs prohibited
Explanation
A car is not used only for carrying goods, so its load may only stick out at the rear: by up to 10% of its length, or 15% if it is indivisible. Sticking out at the sides is prohibited; the 0.40 m on each side is only allowed on goods vehicles with an indivisible load.
