Question 1420 in the bank

Is it permitted to transport a freight container that sticks out from the vehicle’s rear?

  1. Correct answer: No, the freight container should never stick out from the vehicle’s rear.
  2. Yes, in vehicles with a short rear extension.
  3. Yes, but only on vehicles having no floor and walls.
  4. Yes, but only on vehicles with a short front extension.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: No, the freight container should never stick out from the vehicle’s rear.

It is never permitted to carry a freight container that sticks out from the vehicle's rear. The ban applies both to a vehicle with a short rear extension and to a vehicle with no floor and walls. So the freight container must be placed on the vehicle so that it does not extend beyond its rear.
