On vehicles intended for the transport of goods with a length exceeding 5 meters, how far can an indivisible load extend longitudinally?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Regulations state that on vehicles intended exclusively for the transport of goods, if the load is indivisible (cannot be divided into smaller parts without damage or undue cost) and the vehicle measures more than 5 meters in length, it may extend up to 2 meters at the front and up to 3 meters at the rear.  It is important not to confuse this rule with: Goods vehicles up to 5 meters long (where it extends one-third of the length). Passenger cars or private vehicles (where it only extends at the rear: 10% if divisible or 15% if indivisible).
