Question 1316 in the bank

When should you operate a flashing yellow lamp above the driver’s compartment?

  1. When you are driving a vehicle carrying freight that is wider than the vehicle.
  2. When you are driving a connected vehicle.
  3. When you are driving a vehicle with a permitted weight of more than 15,000 kg.
  4. Correct answer: When the length of the freight or of the vehicle exceeds 20.00 meters.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: When the length of the freight or of the vehicle exceeds 20.00 meters.

You must operate a flashing yellow lamp above the driver's compartment when the length of the freight or of the vehicle exceeds 20.00 meters. Such a long vehicle takes up a lot of space on the road, and the lamp warns other road users in advance. The weight of the vehicle, the width of the freight or the vehicle being connected are not the criterion set in the correct answer.
