Question 4201
If a load protrudes beyond the vehicle's footprint, must it be protected?
- Only when driving between sunset and sunrise.
- Yes, on the protruding part to reduce the effects of a possible scrape or collision.
- 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 a possible scrape or collision.
Yes. When a load protrudes, even within the limits, its end must be protected to reduce the damage from a scrape or collision. This applies both day and night, and marking the load does not replace this protection. In the image, the rear ends of the beams are wrapped and also have a V-20 panel.
