When must attached working equipment be marked with red-white warning plates?

When it has parts presenting a danger to traffic

When extending laterally more than 40 cm beyond the side lights or rear lights of the tractor

When extending more than 1 m to the back beyond the rear lights of the tractor

Here is Our AI Assistant's Explanation

You answered correctly. Attached working equipment must always be marked with red-white warning plates in all cases listed: when any part presents a danger to traffic, when it extends laterally more than 40 cm beyond the side or rear lights, and when it extends more than 1 meter to the rear beyond the rear lights. These regulations are in place to alert other road users to possible hazards and overhanging parts, increasing safety for everyone. Remember, using the warning plates properly is not just a recommendation—it is a legal requirement according to the German road traffic regulations whenever the equipment meets any of these conditions. This helps ensure visibility and prevents accidents caused by unexpected protruding objects.
