Explanation

Correct answer: Yes, but provided that a relevant permit is obtained.

As a general rule, operating a vehicle on public roads is prohibited if its weight, including its load, exceeds the permissible limits, in order to protect the road infrastructure and ensure safety. However, the law provides for the possibility of such a vehicle, referred to as a non-standard vehicle, to travel, provided that a special permit is obtained from the appropriate road authority.
