A passenger car is transporting an indivisible load; may it extend beyond the rear of the vehicle?
Traffic safety: Transported persons and cargo
Explanation
For **passenger cars carrying an indivisible load**, such as a board or a tube that cannot be divided into smaller parts, the regulations allow this load to protrude from the rear of the vehicle. In this case, the load can extend up to **15% of the total length of the vehicle**.
For example, if a passenger car is 3 meters long, an indivisible load could protrude up to 45 centimeters from the rear. This rule specifically applies to loads that cannot be divided, differing from divisible loads, which can only protrude by 10%.
It is important to remember that whenever the load protrudes from the vehicle, safety measures must be taken to prevent accidents or damage to other vehicles and people.
