Correct answer
- AA la legislación reguladora de los vehículosThe legislation regulating vehicles
Adaptable mixed-use vehicles can carry people and goods at the same time or one or the other. Because loose loads are a risk in sudden braking or a crash, there must be a proper physical separation between the passengers and the load. This protection (usually grilles or dividers) is not optional and is not governed just by an owner's manual: it must be approved and comply strictly with the legislation regulating vehicles (General Vehicle Regulations). The tyre instructions have nothing to do with separating the load.
