Correct answer

  • ACuando la carga sobresale por la parte trasera de un vehículo.When the load sticks out at the rear of a vehicle.
Explanation

The V-20 sign must be used when the load sticks out at the rear of a vehicle, such as a car. This is essential for road safety, because proper marking prevents accidents by warning other drivers about the projecting load. This requirement is set out in the General Vehicle Regulations, which state that a load sticking out at the rear must be marked with the V-20, placed so that it is visible and at right angles to the vehicle's centre line.
