Correct answer
- BNoNo
Explanation
On a car, which is not used exclusively to carry goods, the load may not stick out beyond the sides of the vehicle; it may only stick out at the back, within certain limits (Article 15 of the General Traffic Regulations). Luggage on the roof rack must stay within the width of the car.
