BDifficulty 2/5

You are carrying a load in your car that sticks out at the back — must you mark it?

Correct answer

Yes, with a panel fitted at the end of the load.

Yes. A rear-projecting car load must be marked with an approved V-20 panel at its rear end, perpendicular to the vehicle’s longitudinal axis. If it projects along the full rear width, use two panels, one at each end, forming an inverted V. Between sunset and sunrise, or in weather or environmental conditions substantially reducing visibility, add a red light. Also observe load-projection limits and securing requirements under articles 14 and 15.
