How would we mark a vehicle that escorts a vehicle carrying oversize freight?
- With a “careful, oversize freight” sign on the front of the escorting vehicle.
- The escorting vehicle will turn-on its four winkers while driving, and place a “careful oversize freight” on its roof.
- Correct answer: With “caution oversize freight” signs on the escorting vehicle’s front and on the back of the freight-carrying vehicle, and by mounting a flashing yellow light above the driver’s compartment.
- With a flickering light and a “careful, oversize freight” sign on the front of the escorting vehicle.
Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: With “caution oversize freight” signs on the escorting vehicle’s front and on the back of the freight-carrying vehicle, and by mounting a flashing yellow light above the driver’s compartment.
An escort vehicle exists to warn other road users about oversize freight, so the warning must be clearly visible from both directions. Caution oversize freight signs go on the front of the escorting vehicle and on the back of the vehicle carrying the freight, plus a flashing yellow light above the driver's compartment. A sign on the front alone, or using the four winkers, is not enough.
