Correct answer
4 metres.
The general maximum is 4 metres including the vehicle and all its load, measured from the ground to the highest point. An indivisible load does not by itself permit 4.40 m. Annex IX contains specific exceptions, and special transport authorisations have their own conditions. Observe applicable limits and route clearances.
