In a passenger car, what is the maximum length the load is allowed to overhang from the rear?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

In vehicles not intended exclusively for the transport of goods (such as passenger cars), the regulations establish that the load may only overhang at the rear (never at the front or at the sides). The limits are:  Up to 10% of the vehicle's length if the load is divisible (it can be reduced or divided).  Up to 15% of the vehicle's length if the load is indivisible (it cannot be split up, such as a surfboard). It is important to remember that this overhanging load must be marked with the V-20 panel (a square panel with red and white diagonal stripes).
