In Portuguese road regulations, how far can a load extend beyond the rear of a light goods vehicle without requiring special authorization?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. Up to 1 meter beyond the rear provided it is fitted with an approved reflective panel
- Step 1: Cargo loading rules under Article 56. Step 2. Cargo must not compromise stability, obscure lighting, or extend beyond vehicle contours, with strict limits and mandatory reflective marking panels for permitted rear overhangs. Answer: It must not exceed the overall dimensions of the vehicle, with specific exceptions up to 1 meter beyond the rear if properly marked. Why not the others: Unmarked rear overhangs and front extensions over hoods are illegal.
