It is after sunset on the A28 near Assen. On your trailer is a boat that sticks out well behind it; the marker board is already attached. You now also have to show lights at the load.
- Red light to the rear; at the front the board itself is enough
- ✓ White light to the front and red light to the rear
- Red light to the front and white light to the rear
Correct answer: White light to the front and red light to the rear
Explanation
False — You leave out the white light. When carrying in the dark, the protruding load needs both a white light to the front and a red light to the rear; the board does not replace a light.
Why learners get this wrong
- You leave out the white light. When carrying in the dark, the protruding load needs both a white light to the front and a red light to the rear; the board does not replace a light.
- You swap the colours. White light shines to the front for oncoming traffic, red light to the rear for those behind you, just like ordinary car lighting.
