Which type of motor vehicle is authorized to carry a freight container?
- A work vehicle that is authorized to transport containers.
- A commercial vehicle with an all up weight of more than 15,000 kg, on an urban road only.
- Correct answer: A commercial motor vehicle with a minimum all up weight of 16,000 kg.
- A commercial vehicle with an all up weight of more than 15,000 kg, on an inter-urban road only.
Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: A commercial motor vehicle with a minimum all up weight of 16,000 kg.
A freight container may be transported in a commercial motor vehicle with an all up weight of 16,000 kg or more. The condition is set by the weight of the vehicle and not by the type of road, so there is no distinction between an urban road and an inter-urban road. The wording of more than 15,000 kg is not the threshold set for transporting a container.
