Question 1538 in the bank

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

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

Why this is the answer

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

Freight sticking out behind the vehicle is marked with a red light-reflecting triangle on its tip, so drivers behind can see exactly where the load ends. Red is the colour that identifies the rear of a vehicle, so a white triangle or a white or yellow light could mislead others. The reflector returns the headlights of following vehicles and needs no power connection.
