The height of a vehicle with a load must not exceed:
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
C. 4 m.
Explanation
The question is about the maximum permitted height of a vehicle together with its load. It is 4 m - the answer is C.
The Road Traffic Act states directly that the height of a vehicle with a load must not exceed 4 m. What counts is the height of the whole vehicle together with what is lying on it, so a high load on a low platform can also exceed the limit. The values 3 m (answer A) and 3.5 m (answer B) are lower than the legal limit - a vehicle of such a height is within the limit. A vehicle higher than 4 m is an abnormal (oversize or overweight) vehicle and may travel only on the basis of a permit, and only with an indivisible load. Also remember signs B-16 "no entry for vehicles with a height of over ... m" - before a flyover or a tunnel they may limit the height even below 4 m.
