  1. 12.75 meters.
  2. 16 meters.
  3. Correct answer: 18.75 meters.
  4. 14 meters.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: 18.75 meters.

The maximum all up length permitted for a commercial vehicle towing a trailer is 18.75 meters. This is the length of the whole combination, the vehicle and the trailer together. The limit is meant to preserve the ability to manoeuvre at junctions and in turns, and to keep overtaking and merging into traffic safe.
