Correct answer

  • BSí.Yes.
Explanation

According to Article 15 of the General Traffic Regulations, at night a load that sticks out sideways more than 0.40 metres beyond the sidelights must be signalled at each end with a white light and a white reflector facing forwards, and a red light and a red reflector facing backwards, not with a simple panel.
