Correct answer
0.50 metres at most.
The maximum projection is 0.50 metres: the permitted overall length of 16.50 metres, including the load, minus the vehicle’s 16 metres. Although Article 15 permits up to three metres at the rear for certain loads of indivisible length on goods vehicles over five metres long, the combination’s maximum dimensions must also be respected. The projecting load must be protected and marked with V-20.
