In a passenger car, how much is an indivisible load allowed to overhang from the rear?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

In vehicles not exclusively designed for goods transport, such as a passenger car, the load may only overhang from the rear of the vehicle, never from the front or sides. Regulations distinguish two cases depending on the nature of the load: Divisible Load: It may extend up to 10% of the vehicle's length. Indivisible Load: It may extend up to 15% of the vehicle's length. Therefore, since the question refers to a load that cannot be divided (indivisible), the correct answer is 15%. Remember that this overhanging load must be marked with the V-20 panel (diagonal red and white stripes).
