Correct answer
- AQue transporta mercancías peligrosas y que mide más de 12 metros.That it is carrying dangerous goods and is more than 12 metres long.
All vehicles and vehicle combinations longer than 12 metres must carry at the rear, centred on the vehicle's axis, a rectangular plate (V-6) with a reflective yellow background and a fluorescent red border. Where this makes it easier to fit, this plate can be replaced by two smaller ones placed symmetrically on each side of the vehicle's axis. You can also see that the lorry carries plate V-11, which shows that it is transporting dangerous goods. This plate may carry numbers: in its upper half, showing the type of danger, and in its lower half, showing the goods being transported.
