Question 1522 in the bank

How is it required to mark freight that sticks out from the vehicle’s front side?

  1. Correct answer: With a white-reflecting triangle on the tip of the oversize freight.
  2. With a red light-reflecting triangle on the tip of the oversize freight.
  3. With a light and a red flag on the tip of the oversize freight.
  4. With a light and a white or yellow flag on the tip of the oversize freight.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: With a white-reflecting triangle on the tip of the oversize freight.

Freight sticking out in front is marked with a white reflecting triangle at its tip. The rule follows vehicle light colours: white faces forward, red faces backward. A red reflecting triangle is used for freight sticking out at the rear, so it is wrong for the front. This lets oncoming drivers see the end of the load, even in the dark.
