CDifficulty 3/5

What is the general maximum width of an ordinary lorry, without a temperature-controlled-body exception or special authorisation?

Correct answer

2.55 metres.

2.55 metres as a general rule. Vehicle Regulations Annex IX permits 2.60 metres for temperature-controlled superstructures with side walls at least 45 mm thick, including insulation. An arbitrary body modification is insufficient. Also observe specific road restrictions.
