If you drive a tractor, can you pull a trailer without side reflectors?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
B. No.
Explanation
In the photo, a blue tractor is pulling a red two-axle trailer with a yellow grille guard at the back. You are not allowed to pull a trailer without side reflectors - answer B.
The rules on the technical conditions of vehicles require every trailer, including one designed to be pulled by an agricultural tractor, to have side reflectors - usually amber, placed along the side. At night, they show drivers at a junction or when leaving a minor road that a long trailer is moving across the road, and not just a tractor with headlights. For motor vehicles the requirement applies to those longer than 6 m, but for a trailer the length does not matter, so answer C is wrong. Answer A directly contradicts the requirements. Before setting off, check that the reflectors are not cracked or covered with mud - a dirty reflector works almost as if there were none.
Legal basis: § 12 para. 1 point 11 and § 47 para. 1 of the Regulation on the technical conditions of vehicles and the scope of their necessary equipment
