Correct answer
3 metres.
Three metres. On a goods vehicle longer than five metres, beams and other indivisible-length loads may project up to two metres at the front and three at the rear, subject to securing, placement, dimensions and marking requirements. The one-third-length rule applies to vehicles five metres or shorter. Mark the rear projection with V-20 and comply with lighting requirements when applicable.
