In which situation is it permitted for people to travel in the cargo space of a goods vehicle?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

As a general rule, transporting people in the cargo area is prohibited due to safety risks. However, the General Traffic Regulations allow for very specific exceptions: travel is only permitted there if the conditions established in the regulations governing the matter are met. This usually implies special authorizations or vehicles adapted for such purposes. The options regarding 'rural areas' or 'empty vehicle' are incorrect, as geographic location or lack of cargo do not exempt one from complying with safety standards nor do they authorize the space for passengers.
