How far can ladders stick out over the back of a car as i just sold my ladders but the person i sold them to cannot pick them up until 2 weeks time so as i needed them moved straight away i said i will move them. I have put the ladders on the roof rack but they stick out 2 foot over the back of the car and i was wondering if the police seen me would they stop me as it does look stupid being on a small car . I know it would be best to move them in the day but i was thinking of moving them at night when there ain't many cars on the road but if i got stopped i bet the police would have something to say.
