Why learners get this wrong
- This trailer itself must always have a rear fog light. The only exception is if the TOWING vehicle itself has no fog light. The law does contain a date nuance for older heavy trailers, but the exam follows the book: treat the rear fog light as always mandatory.
- Reflectors are an addition; the trailer must also have rear lights, brake lights and indicators that work together with the car's lighting.
- White retroreflectors belong at the FRONT; at the rear are red triangular reflectors. Red rear, white front.
