Correct answer
12 metres, including the load.
12 metres, including the load. Annex IX sets that length limit for motor vehicles other than buses. Do not add the entire length of an object to the lorry’s length: measure the total envelope between the outermost points. Permitted overhang for an indivisible load does not authorise exceeding the overall maximum dimensions without the relevant authorisation; projecting-load protection and signalling rules must also be followed.
