BDifficulty 2/5

Without special authorisation permitting it, a loaded vehicle’s actual total mass exceeds its MAM. May it be driven like that?

Correct answer

No, it exceeds its maximum authorised mass.

No. MAM is the maximum authorised mass of the loaded vehicle; it is compared with total mass including the vehicle, occupants and load, not cargo weight alone. Also respect axle limits and other technical conditions. Excess mass can impair braking and stability; driving slowly or carrying goods does not authorise it. Compliance reduces risk but does not by itself guarantee no crash.
