Dimensions of the load is one of the topics in the General rules block of the Spanish DGT theory. Defines who the traffic rules apply to and where, the basic definitions and the principles behind the whole theory. Understanding this section well helps you answer the theory-exam questions on this topic with confidence.

In simple terms, this point of the DGT theory establishes that the load must not protrude beyond the vehicle's plan projection, except in the cases and conditions provided for in the following sections. In the case of animal-drawn vehicles, projection is understood to be that of the vehicle itself extended forward, with the same width, without exceeding the head of the nearest draft animal.

The exam often asks where and to whom these rules apply; read the options carefully, as they frequently change a single word.
