Correct answer
No.
No. When the projection spans the full width of the vehicle’s rear, two V-20 panels are required, one at each end of the load, arranged to form an inverted V. A single central panel is insufficient, and daylight does not remove the requirement. Between sunset and sunrise or in significantly reduced visibility, the required red light is added to the rear projection. The vehicle’s compulsory plates and lights must remain visible.
