Correct answer
C. longer than 0.5 m from the front surface of its outline and longer than 1.5m from the driver’s seat.
Explanation
The question is about how far a load being carried may stick out at the front of a vehicle. It must not stick out more than 0.5 m from the front plane of the outline and more than 1.5 m from the driver's seat - answer C.
The Road Traffic Act states that a load must not stick out at the front of a vehicle by more than 0.5 m from the front plane of the outline and by more than 1.5 m from the driver's seat. Both conditions must be met at the same time - the first protects pedestrians or other vehicles from being hit by the protruding load, the second gives the driver a field of view and the ability to judge distances. Answer A has two mistakes: it gives 0.23 m, which is the value for a load sticking out at the side, and - like answer B - it gives too low a limit measured from the seat. Regardless of these values, you must always mark a load sticking out at the front with an orange flag or with white and red stripes, and in conditions of insufficient visibility also with a white light.
