Question 7447

When a load protrudes from a vehicle, is it required to mark it with the panel shown in the image?

  1. No, except for vehicles used to transport goods.
  2. Yes, for all types of vehicles, but only when the load is indivisible.
  3. It is only required if the load protrudes from the rear.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: It is only required if the load protrudes from the rear.

The V-20 panel is required when a load extends beyond the rear, including on a passenger car, like the kayak in the image, and even if the load is divisible. It is not required for loads extending beyond the front or sides, or on vehicles less than 1 m wide.
