I have a vague idea there is a limit to the dimensions of a vehicle before it is classified into another category but I will not insist on it.
Yes, according to German law (it’s probably similar in the rest of EU), the limit is 12 m for cars and 18 m for trucks. Yet, afaIk, it doesn’t affect the type of driver’s licence necessary for driving such a vehicle.
You didn’t notice that monstrosity has three rows of doors? It’s probably a 2+3+3 or 2+2+2. So, at least, six passengers.
Yes, but the driver legally doesn’t count as passenger and (a part of him) enters the mass of the ‘empty’ vehicle with 70 kg. So it’s either 5 or 7 passengers.
See we don’t even really have a max length, the usual rule is 23 or 27 meters (depends on province but most interprovincial guys obviously follow the smaller limit) but if you want to be longer, then it’s yearly or monthly permits. Regina to Saskatoon on highway 11, 39 meter combos are common.
Alberta allows something you won’t see anywhere else, to my knowledge, three 53 foot trailers with converter dollys’, I’m sorry, I was tired of converting to metric, trucking is still in Imperial in canada. On paper it is metric, but it’s all bullshit that makes no sense, it’s all metric equivalates. Australia allows similar things I guess.

In Europe, the maximum length of a combo usually is 18,50 m and iirc 24 m in the Nordics.
