Hi Jay,
 
It is true in Baja and almost in most of Mexican roads, when dealing
with a sport object and foreign plates yo have no problems with hanging
objects behind the car . I have had no problem on the roads in general,
even with my Mexican plates. It is when going through Mexico City and
the central Mexico surrounding cities that you have problems. And I must
go trhogu Mexico City every time I go to Veracruz.
 
Best Regards,
 
Rafael

I have taken kayaks into Mexico, usually Baja, for years and never heard
of the requirement that nothing overhangs the truck.  Sometimes there
would be 4 feet hanging over  the back with a  flag on it and nothing
was said.  Am I just lucky or what?   The rack looks very strong and
rigid.
