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 when the load protrudes beyond the vehicle's floor plan, always within the limits of the previous sections, all appropriate precautions must be taken to avoid damage or danger to other users of the public road, and it must be protected at the protruding end to reduce the effects of any possible friction or collision.

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