What is the maximum permitted height - above the road’s surface -for a loaded commercial vehicle with an all up weight of between 3,501 and 8,000 kg?
- Correct answer: 3.50 meters.
- 4.00 meters.
- 3.00 meters.
- 2.50 meters.
Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: 3.50 meters.
For a commercial vehicle with a permitted total weight of 3,501 to 8,000 kg, the load may not rise more than 3.50 meters above the road surface. The height is measured from the road to the top of the load, not from the cargo floor. The limit keeps the vehicle stable and prevents striking bridges, power lines and other overhead obstacles. A higher load raises the centre of gravity and the risk of rollover.
