Are you allowed to carry loose material in a lorry, when the vehicle height together with the load is 4.5 m?

Explanation

Correct answer: No, it is forbidden on all roads.

In accordance with the Road Traffic Act, the maximum permissible height of a vehicle, including its load, is 4.0 m. The height of 4.5 m stated in the question exceeds this limit, therefore driving such a vehicle is prohibited on all public roads. This restriction is intended to ensure safety and prevent collisions with elements of road infrastructure, such as viaducts, tunnels or power lines.
