Show the correct answer
Correct answer
C. It should be equipped with the registration plate transferred from the motorcycle.
Explanation
In the photo a touring motorcycle with two people on it is pulling a small luggage trailer. A trailer pulled by a motorcycle should be fitted with the registration plate transferred from the motorcycle - answer C.
The Regulation on the registration and marking of vehicles states that at the back of a motorcycle trailer you place the motorcycle registration plate transferred from the motorcycle that is pulling the trailer. A motorcycle trailer is not registered separately - the Road Traffic Act allows it on the road if it meets the technical conditions - so it has no number of its own (answer B is wrong). Since the trailer hides the back of the motorcycle, it is on the trailer that the plate must be visible, so that the vehicle can be identified from behind, for example by a speed camera or a patrol. A red flag (answer A) is not a marking for a trailer - it is used to mark a load sticking out at the back of a passenger car. The trailer must also have working sidelights, indicators and reflectors, and its mass must not exceed 100 kg.
Legal basis: § 33 para. 6 of the Regulation on the registration and marking of vehicles, requirements for number plates and templates of other vehicle registration documents; Art. 71 para. 3 and Art. 62 para. 1 point 3 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym)
