What is “all up weight”?
- A vehicle’s own weight, as approved by the Licensing Authority
- Correct answer: A vehicle’s own weight, plus the weight of the people and cargo that the vehicle is allowed to drive or carry, as approved by the Licensing Authority
- A vehicle’s own volume plus the weight of the people and cargo it is allowed to drive or carry, as approved by the Licensing Authority
- The volume of the vehicle and of the cargo it is allowed to drive or carry, as approved by the Licensing Authority
Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: A vehicle’s own weight, plus the weight of the people and cargo that the vehicle is allowed to drive or carry, as approved by the Licensing Authority
All up weight is the sum of three parts: the vehicle's own empty weight, plus the weight of the people and the cargo the Licensing Authority allows it to carry. It is about weight, not volume, so options mentioning volume are wrong. The vehicle's own weight alone is not enough, because it leaves out people and cargo. A loaded vehicle must never exceed its approved all up weight.
