Correct answer
No, that distance does not exceed the 40 cm threshold for additional lateral marking.
Not because of that 30 cm distance. Article 15 requires additional lateral marking when the load edge is more than 40 cm from the outer edge of the position light: a white light and reflector facing forward and a red light and reflector facing rearward. Longitudinal projection is excluded and lawful lateral projection is assumed here. This does not authorise exceeding width limits or omitting the combination’s required lights.

- At a yield sign with a C1+E or C+E combination, you must:
- You drive an articulated goods vehicle consisting of a tractor unit and semi-trailer, without performing an authorised emergency service. As a general rule, may it use an HOV lane merely because it carries two or three occupants?
- If you are driving a heavy combination and you encounter a STOP sign, you must:
- An area is marked with a yellow zigzag, with no sign limiting its application to specified hours. May you leave a vehicle combination parked there overnight?
- You are driving a tractor unit towing a semi-trailer. Considering only this R-112 sign displaying 2 t, does it prohibit your entry?
- A trailer’s load projects to the rear within permitted limits and spans the full width of the vehicle’s rear. It has only one central V-20 panel. Is that marking of the projection sufficient?
