Explanation
For **passenger cars** carrying cargo, there are specific rules about how much the cargo can protrude from the rear of the vehicle:
- **Divisible loads**: These are loads that can be divided into smaller parts. In this case, the cargo can protrude up to **10% of the vehicle's length**. For example, if a vehicle is 3 meters long, the cargo can protrude up to 30 centimeters.
- **Indivisible loads**: These are loads that cannot be divided, such as a long board. In this case, the cargo can protrude up to **15% of the vehicle's length**. For example, if the vehicle is 3 meters long, the cargo can protrude up to 45 centimeters.
