Correct answer
No.
The load carried on the roof rack of a car cannot protrude sideways under any circumstances, whether it is divisible or indivisible. Legislation allows the load to protrude at the rear of the vehicle under certain conditions, up to a maximum of 10% or 15% of the vehicle's length depending on whether the load is divisible or indivisible. It is also permitted to protrude at the top if certain dimension rules are met. However, the regulations clearly prohibit the load from protruding sideways or at the front of the vehicle.
