Question 4963

If you are driving at night and the load protrudes in front of and behind the vehicle, you must:

  1. Place a red cloth on each side of the load.
  2. Mark the load with a red light at the rear and a white light at the front.
  3. Place the light only at the rear, since it is not required at the front.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Mark the load with a red light at the rear and a white light at the front.

At night, a load extending beyond the front must have a white light at its end, and a load extending beyond the rear must have a red light. The rear must also have a V-20 panel, which is required during the day as well. The front light is not optional, and a red cloth is not a valid marking. In the image, the beams have a white light at the front and a red light with the panel at the rear.
