Correct answer
12 metres.
12 metres under Annex IX of the General Vehicle Regulations for motor vehicles other than buses. The number of axles does not turn a rigid lorry into an articulated vehicle. Not every rigid vehicle has this limit: buses have specific limits. Also observe technical characteristics and road restrictions; regulatory exceptions require their conditions to be met.
