Correct answer
- CSí, con una placa reglamentaria.Yes, with an official panel.
According to the General Traffic Regulations (RGC), if a car is carrying a load that sticks out at the back, it must be signalled with an official panel (V-20 sign). This rule is important for road safety, because proper signalling tells other drivers how far the load extends and helps avoid accidents. The sign must be placed so that it is clearly visible and at right angles to the vehicle's centre line, as required by the regulations.
