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 in vehicles with a width of less than one metre, the load must not project laterally more than 0.50 metres on either side of its longitudinal axis. It may not project at the front end, nor more than 0.25 metres at the rear end.
The exam often asks where and to whom these rules apply; read the options carefully, as they frequently change a single word.
