  1. A veicle conected to a trailer with an all up weight of 16.50 meters.
  2. A veicle conected to a trailer with an all up weight of 17.60 meters.
  3. Correct answer: An articulated vehicle with an all up weight of 16.50 meters.
  4. An articulated vehicle with an all up weight of 17.60 meters.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: An articulated vehicle with an all up weight of 16.50 meters.

The picture shows a truck with the driver's cab over the engine. The trailer rests on the towing vehicle by means of a towing pin, so this is an articulated vehicle. The maximum all up length allowed for an articulated vehicle of this kind is 16.50 meters. A vehicle connected to a trailer is a motor vehicle that tows a trailer standing on its own axles.
