BDifficulty 2/5

As a general rule, excluding an exceptional regime or special authorisation, what is a vehicle’s maximum authorised height, including its load?

Correct answer

4 metres.

Four metres under Annex IX, section 3, of the General Vehicle Regulations. Specific cases have other heights, including certain urban buses and vehicles expressly listed in that annex; the question asks for the general rule. This maximum does not authorise passing under a lower obstruction or ignoring a signposted restriction. Check the actual height of the vehicle and load.
