No. In passenger cars (vehicles intended for the transport of people), the regulations are strict: the load must never extend beyond the sides nor the front. It is only allowed to protrude from the rear with the following limits: Up to 10% of the vehicle's length if the load is divisible. Up to 15% if the load is indivisible. Any object protruding from the rear must be signaled with the V-20 panel.
