You are driving a vehicle whose gross vehicle weight rating is 16 tones, and whose gross vehicle weight is 14 tones. Are you allowed to drive onto this bridge?
Explanation

Correct answer: Yes

The visible sign B-18 "No entry for vehicles with an actual gross weight exceeding 15 t" refers to the current weight of the vehicle, including its load and passengers. The actual gross weight of the vehicle you are driving is 14 tonnes, which is less than the limit shown on the sign. Therefore, entry onto the bridge is permitted, and the vehicle's maximum authorised mass is not relevant in this case.
