In addition to the number of authorized seats for people, what other important limit must never be exceeded when loading a vehicle?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is the Maximum Authorized Mass (MAM).  As a general rule, the MAM (or Gross Vehicle Weight) must never be exceeded in any vehicle. This refers to the maximum total weight permitted (including the vehicle itself, cargo, and occupants) to drive on public roads. Exceeding this limit seriously compromises road safety, as it affects vehicle stability and increases braking distances. Analysis of the options: The maximum authorized mass: This is the critical limit. It is the sum of the tare (weight of the empty vehicle) cargo passengers. The driver's height: This is not a technical limit of the vehicle; the requirement is simply that the driver has the physical capacity and aptitude to operate the controls. The number of wheels: This is a construction characteristic of the vehicle, not a variable usage limit.
