Question: 1 / 400

What is a vehicle's "static load"?

The weight of the vehicle in motion

The weight of a vehicle while stopped

A vehicle's "static load" refers to the weight of the vehicle while it is stopped. This term emphasizes the condition in which the vehicle is not in motion, allowing for an accurate measurement of the weight without the additional factors that come into play when the vehicle is moving, such as momentum and dynamic forces.

When considering the other options, the weight of the vehicle in motion does not reflect its static load because movement introduces variables that can affect how weight is perceived or distributed. The maximum weight a vehicle can carry relates more to vehicle specifications regarding payload capacity rather than its own weight. Total weight including all passengers is relevant but doesn't strictly define static load, as static load concerns the vehicle alone at rest without considering the dynamic changes that come from movement or the load being carried.
