Question 7428

The load on this truck sticks out beyond its rear. How must it be transported?

  1. Protected and marked with a white or amber light.
  2. Marked with a red light and a red reflective device.
  3. Marked and protected on the part that sticks out.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Marked and protected on the part that sticks out.

A load protruding from the rear of a truck must have a V-20 panel at its end, and that end must also be protected to reduce the damage caused by scraping or impact. In the image, the ends of the pipes are covered with a red padded sleeve and marked with the panel. A red light is added at night, while a red reflector is for loads protruding at the sides.
