Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is by 10% over the established maximum. According to the Road Safety Law and General Traffic Regulations, traffic surveillance agents may order the immobilization of a vehicle when authorized weight and dimension levels are exceeded by a percentage that compromises safety. Specifically, it is considered a serious risk to traffic (justifying immediate immobilization) when the excess weight exceeds 10% of the Maximum Authorized Mass (MAM) for general vehicles. Overloading negatively affects braking distance, stability in corners, and tire integrity. The vehicle will not be allowed to proceed until the excess load is removed.
