Question 3437

Must a load that extends beyond the vehicle's outline as viewed from above have protective covering?

  1. Yes, on the protruding part, to reduce the effects of possible scraping or collisions.
  2. Only when driving between sunset and sunrise.
  3. No, it is not necessary if it is properly marked.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Yes, on the protruding part, to reduce the effects of possible scraping or collisions.

The projecting part of the load must be protected to reduce the consequences of possible scraping or a collision; marking it does not replace that protection.
