Correct answer
No.
No. The general length limit for a motor vehicle other than a bus is 12 m, and dimensions are checked with the load included. Projection allowances for certain indivisible loads do not themselves authorise exceeding the maximum length. A divisible load cannot use that projection exception. Exceeding the limits requires complying with the applicable special regime.
