  2. Yes, only one device is required.

Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Yes, only one device is required.

Yes. One connected V-16 meets the requirement for a passenger car, wherever it is driven. It is placed at the highest point on the vehicle, and its light is visible in every direction, so you do not need a second device. In the picture, a single lit V-16 on the roof warns that the car is stopped on the shoulder.
