Are you allowed to carry loose material in a lorry, when the vehicle height together with the load is 4.5 m?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
C. No, it is forbidden on all roads.
Explanation
The question is about carrying a loose load in a lorry whose height with the load is 4.5 m. This is prohibited on all roads - the answer is C.
The Road Traffic Act states that the height of a vehicle with a load must not exceed 4 m, and a vehicle that exceeds the permitted dimensions is an abnormal (oversize or overweight) vehicle. Such a vehicle may travel only with a permit, and carrying any load other than an indivisible one in it is prohibited. A loose load, for example sand or grain, can be divided - you only need to take less of it or spread it over several trips - so you will not get a permit for such transport. Neither a motorway (answer A) nor a road outside a built-up area (answer B) gives an exception here. Also remember that a loose load may be carried only in a leak-proof load box, secured with covers so that it does not spill onto the road.
Legal basis: Art. 61 para. 5 and 10, Art. 2 point 35a and Art. 64 para. 1 and 2 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym)
