Correct answer

  • ACuando la carga sobresale por detrás de un turismo.When the load sticks out from the back of a car.
Explanation

Whenever the load sticks out from the back of the vehicle, except on vehicles less than 1 metre wide, it must be marked with a panel (V-20) measuring 50 by 50 centimetres, painted with alternating red and white diagonal stripes. The panel must be placed at the rear end of the load so that it stays perpendicular to the vehicle's axis at all times.
