  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 be marked with a V-20 panel placed at its rear end, perpendicular to the vehicle's longitudinal axis. This requirement is not limited to nighttime or to goods vehicles. At night or in poor visibility, a red light is also required.
