Correct answer
10 tonnes.
The general non-driven single-axle limit is 10 tonnes. A lorry’s driven single axle now has a general limit of 12 tonnes, not 11.5. These are axle limits: observe the vehicle’s technical, authorised and total mass limits, which may restrict actual loading. Do not simply add axle limits to determine authorised total mass.
