Question 5773

You are carrying a load in your passenger car that protrudes from the rear. Must you mark it when driving during the day?

  1. No; passenger cars do not need to mark a protruding load.
  2. It only has to be marked at night or in adverse weather conditions.
  3. Yes, with a panel placed at the rear end of the load.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Yes, with a panel placed at the rear end of the load.

Yes. During the day, a load protruding from the rear of a passenger car must have a V-20 panel at its end, like the load on the roof rack in the image. At night or in poor visibility, a red light must be added, but the panel is required at all times.
