You want to transport furniture in the van shown here (up to 3.5 t). Compared to driving a car, what do you have to be aware of?

When transporting furniture in a van up to 3.5 tons, there are crucial considerations compared to driving a car.

Firstly, larger vehicles like vans can roll over more easily when cornering, due to their higher center of gravity. This requires you to adjust your driving style, taking corners more slowly and cautiously.

Secondly, special attention is necessary regarding vertical clearances. Vans may not fit in low-clearance areas, such as under certain bridges or in parking garages, which isn't usually an issue for standard cars.

Lastly, larger vehicles, like vans, are vulnerable to sidewinds. This means you should be more alert during windy conditions, as the van can be pushed off course more easily than a smaller vehicle.

Familiarizing yourself with these aspects is essential for safe driving and is supported by the relevant German traffic regulations.
