Correct answer
C. Placed in holders fixed on the roof rack.
Explanation
You are allowed to carry bicycles on a passenger car in holders fixed on the roof rack - answer C. A holder at the rear of the vehicle that limits the legibility of the registration plate (A) and a holder that covers one of the lights (B) are not acceptable.
The Road Traffic Act requires a load to be placed so that it does not cover the lights, registration plates and other required markings of the vehicle, does not restrict the driver's view and cannot fall off. A roof rack with holders meets these conditions; a rear carrier is also legal, but only if it has its own plate and lights when it covers the original ones. You fix the bike securely, check the fastenings after a few kilometres, and remember that with luggage on the roof the car is taller and more sensitive to side wind.
Legal basis: Art. 61 para. 2 point 4 and para. 3 and 4 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym)
