C1Difficulty 3/5

On an ordinary lorry, a rear-projecting load obscures its mandatory position lights. May it continue travelling in that condition?

Correct answer

No, correct the load arrangement so it does not obscure the lights.

No. Article 14 requires loads and accessories not to obscure mandatory lighting or signals. Correct the arrangement before travelling. Marking the projection with V-20 and, where required, a red light does not itself permit obscuring vehicle lights. Panel number and placement depend on projection width under Article 15.
