Question 1537 in the bank

It is obligatory to assign an escorting vehicle to commercial vehicles carrying oversize freight with a width that exceeds:

  1. 3 meters.
  2. 20 cm from each side of the vehicle’s freight trunk.
  3. 2.5 meters.
  4. Correct answer: 3.40 meters.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: 3.40 meters.

Oversize freight exceeds the normal permitted dimensions and needs a special permit and conditions. Once the load is wider than 3.40 meters, it becomes especially dangerous to other road users, so an escorting vehicle is required to warn traffic and secure the transport. Widths of 2.5 or 3 meters do not yet trigger the escort requirement.
