  1. Motor Car, Station Wagon, Utility, and Van Lengths—Motorcars, station wagons, utilities, and vans with projections such as luggage carriers and extra bumpers fitted additionally to standard models will be charged on factory specification lengths. Trailer couplings fitted to such vehicles will not be regarded as projecting fixtures. However, for charging purposes, the measurement of caravans and trailers will include the towbar fitted to the front of the caravan or trailer.

If the factory specification length of a motor car, station wagon, etc., is not known, such vehicle will be charged on either the declared overall length or, if practical, measured and charged on the actual overall length.
