Revision question · Vehicle weights and dimensions

Under the Construction and Use overhanging-load guidance, a load wider than which overall width needs front and rear marker boards, even without considering a lateral projection over 305 mm?

Revision material from the imported DVSA bank includes source-checked Lanekind learning corrections. These corrections are not newly issued official examination questions, and practice does not reproduce a live test paper.

Answer options

2.0 metres (6 feet 6 inches)

2.9 metres (9 feet 5 inches)

3.5 metres (11 feet 5 inches)

4.3 metres (14 feet 2 inches)

Show the answer

2.9 metres (9 feet 5 inches)This was the right answer

An overall width exceeding 2.9 metres triggers the stated marking requirements. A lateral projection over 305 mm can trigger requirements at a narrower overall width. Check police notice, attendant and lighting conditions for the whole load.
