Question 1366 in the bank

Which of the following commercial vehicles must be equipped with mud protectors?

  1. Correct answer: Every vehicle that its rear wheels are not protected by wings, except for tractors and speed restricted vehicles.
  2. Only commercial vehicles with an all up weight of more than 4,000 kg.
  3. Only freight carrying vehicles.
  4. Every vehicle that is used for transportation in bulk.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: Every vehicle that its rear wheels are not protected by wings, except for tractors and speed restricted vehicles.

Mud protectors are required on every vehicle whose rear wheels are not covered by wings, to stop mud, water and stones from spraying onto vehicles and pedestrians behind. The duty does not depend on the vehicle's weight or the type of cargo, so it is not limited to heavy commercial or freight vehicles. Tractors and speed restricted vehicles are exempt.
