On the marina driveway in Heeg your load sticks out 1.2 m behind your trailer. You hang a square, red-and-white striped board of 45 by 45 cm on it, with its lower edge 0.30 m above the road. A neighbour says this is not allowed.
- Get a bigger board, it must be 50 by 50 cm
- ✓ Set off like this, the size and height of this board are fine
- Get another board, it should be blue and white
Correct answer: Set off like this, the size and height of this board are fine
Explanation
False — You take the shop size for the legal size. A square rear board must be at least 42 by 42 cm; 50 by 50 cm is only a common size, so 45 by 45 cm is fine. (VekaBest p.229-230; Regeling voertuigen art. 130-132)
Why learners get this wrong
- You take the shop size for the legal size. A square rear board must be at least 42 by 42 cm; 50 by 50 cm is only a common size, so 45 by 45 cm is fine.
- You confuse the marker board with a blue mandatory sign. The marker board has diagonal red and white stripes that reflect light; this red-and-white board is therefore correct.
