DDifficulty 2/5

As a general rule, what is the maximum permitted length of a rigid two-axle bus on the road, including removable accessories?

Correct answer

13.50 metres.

13.50 metres. Rigid buses with more than two axles have a 15-metre maximum, while articulated buses and buses with trailers have an 18.75-metre maximum. Removable accessories, such as ski carriers, count towards the bus’s maximum length. These figures are lengths measured in metres, rather than masses in tonnes.
