What is the maximal excessive freight length permitted from the rear of a vehicle with an all up weight that exceeds 15,000kg?
- One third the length of the loading platform from the front and also from the back – and only when the freight is in one unit.
- One third of the loading platform from the front and also from the back, for freight that is divided to two.
- Up to one meter in front and up to one meter behind only.
- Correct answer: One third the length of the loading platform – and only when the freight is in one unit.
Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: One third the length of the loading platform – and only when the freight is in one unit.
A commercial vehicle with an all up weight of more than 15,000 kg may have freight extending beyond the rear by up to one third of the length of the loading platform, and only when the freight is a single unit. The answers that allow an excess at the front as well, or for freight divided in two, do not match the rule. Up to one meter only is also not the rule for such a vehicle.
