Why learners get this wrong
- The red TRIANGULAR reflectors belong at the REAR; at the front are white (non-triangular) retroreflectors.
- White retroreflectors belong at the FRONT; at the rear are red triangular reflectors. Red rear, white front.
- 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.
