n

and heavier; therefore acceleration is not the same.
Therefore the most important point is the size and you must
respect road signs about size, particularly signs that control
the height, width and maximum weight ; your vehicle weighs
more than 2 T.
For the width, note that if your rear view mirrors pass,
everything will pass.
