## Question
Which of the following is the correct limit for lateral overhang of cargo on a large motorcycle (excluding those with sidecars)?

## Options
A. Must not protrude more than 0.1 meters from the left or right of the riding device or loading device
B. Must not protrude more than 0.15 meters from the left or right of the riding device or loading device
C. Must not protrude more than 0.3 meters from the left or right of the riding device or loading device
D. Must not protrude more than 1/10 of the vehicle's width from the left or right of the vehicle body

## Correct answer
B. Must not protrude more than 0.15 meters from the left or right of the riding device or loading device

## Explanation
According to the table in the Rules of the Road, the loading method for large motorcycles (excluding those with sidecars) specifies that laterally, cargo "must not protrude more than 0.15 meters from the left or right of the riding device or loading device." The front and rear limit is 0.3 meters, so care must be taken not to confuse the two.
