When does a vehicle carrying oversize freight require escort?
- When the vehicle carries hazardous materials.
- Correct answer: When the width of its freight is more than 3.40 meters.
- When the vehicle was authorized to carry a heavy load.
- When the width of its oversize freight is more than 3 meters and its length is more than by 20 meters.
Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: When the width of its freight is more than 3.40 meters.
An escort is required because of the oversize load's dimensions, not because of what it is. When the freight is wider than 3.40 meters, it takes up a large part of the road and endangers other road users, so the vehicle must be escorted. Carrying hazardous materials or being authorized for a heavy load does not by itself require this kind of escort.
