- Correct answer: It is obligatory to install 2 plates on a vehicle with a width of more than 150cm. The plates’ outside frame should be red and the rest yellow.

Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: It is obligatory to install 2 plates on a vehicle with a width of more than 150cm. The plates’ outside frame should be red and the rest yellow.
A trailer or semi-trailer wider than 150cm must carry two light-reflecting plates on its rear wall, with a red outside frame and the rest yellow. Placing a plate on each side shows drivers behind the full width of the vehicle, especially at night or in poor visibility. This is a fixed legal requirement, not something left to the Licensing Bureau, and a single central plate is not enough.
