BDifficulty 1/5

On a motorcycle less than one metre wide, with a securely fastened load legally projecting no more than 0.25 m at the rear, does article 15 require a V-20 panel for that projection?

Correct answer

No, V-20 is not required in the stated circumstances.

V-20 is not required for this article 15.4 case under the General Traffic Regulations. Article 15.6 requires it for rear-projecting loads on vehicles covered by paragraphs 2 and 3. Absence of that requirement is different from an absolute prohibition on signalling any motorcycle load. Observe dimensional limits, secure the load, avoid obscuring lights or the registration plate and take the applicable safety precautions, including any lateral signalling required in the circumstances.
