Is the load allowed to extend laterally beyond the sides of a passenger car?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

No, on passenger cars (vehicles not exclusively intended for the transport of goods), the load may not extend beyond the sides under any circumstances. General Traffic Regulations state that on this type of vehicle, the load may only extend from the rear (10% of the vehicle's length if divisible or 15% if indivisible). It is strictly forbidden for it to extend from the front or the sides (width). Width exceptions or the 50 cm rule from the axis apply to motorcycles or goods vehicles, not to passenger cars.
