How far can an indivisible load, such as a pipe or a pole, extend beyond the rear of a passenger car?
Traffic safety: Transported persons and cargo
Explanation
For a passenger car carrying an **indivisible load**, such as a tube or a pole, the load may protrude from the rear of the vehicle up to **15% of the vehicle's length**. This is because loads that cannot be divided into smaller parts are allowed to protrude more than divisible loads.
- **Indivisible loads**: These are loads that cannot be divided into smaller parts without affecting their functionality, such as poles or tubes. In these cases, the regulations allow them to protrude 15% of the vehicle's length from the rear.
- **Practical example**: If a vehicle is 3 meters long, an indivisible load can protrude up to 45 centimeters from the rear.
It is important to remember that whenever a load protrudes from the vehicle, safety measures must be taken to prevent accidents or damage to other vehicles and people.
