Explanation

According to the General Traffic Regulations (RGC) in Spain, when a load sticks out at the back of a car or any other vehicle, it must be properly signalled both by day and by night. This is to ensure road safety and to make sure that other drivers can clearly see the size of the vehicle and react properly to it on the road.
