How far may a load project beyond the width of the vehicle body?

4 inches
5 inches
6 inches
8 inches

The correct answer is: 6 inches

A load may project up to 6 inches beyond the width of the vehicle body. This regulation exists to ensure that vehicles maintain safe dimensions while transporting loads. Allowing a load to extend beyond this limit increases the risk of accidents or damage to other vehicles and road infrastructure, as it may interfere with the space designated for lawful vehicular movement. In terms of safety, this limit is put in place to minimize hazards related to load stability and visibility. When loads extend too far, they can hinder the driver's ability to see surrounding traffic, leading to dangerous situations. By adhering to the 6-inch regulation, drivers can ensure that they remain compliant with traffic laws while promoting safety on the road.
