Your closed trailer is 6.50 metres long and 1.90 metres wide (permitted maximum mass 900 kg). Which extra light is now required on account of its dimensions?
- No extra light — marker lights are not needed on a passenger trailer
- ✓ Marker lights — the trailer is longer than 6 metres
- Position lights — the trailer is wider than 1.60 metres
Correct answer: Marker lights — the trailer is longer than 6 metres
Explanation
False
Why learners get this wrong
- Required >6 m long or >2.10 m wide; 6.50 m qualifies
- Position lights (>1.60 m) are also required here, but the question is about the light that hangs on length: marker lights (>6 m)
