By how much must a vehicle’s load exceed the maximum permitted weight for the vehicle to be immobilized?
Traffic safety: Transported persons and cargo
Explanation
For a vehicle to be immobilized due to excess load, the **mass of the load** must exceed **10% over the maximum established by law**. This is because all vehicles have a maximum weight limit they can carry, which includes the weight of passengers, luggage, and other loads.
- **Exceeding this limit** can cause damage to vehicle components such as tires, acceleration systems, and brakes.
- Regulations prohibit vehicles from carrying more load than allowed, as this affects the safety and functioning of the vehicle.
Therefore, if the load exceeds 10% of the maximum permitted weight, the vehicle may be immobilized to prevent risks and damage.
