Correct answer
B. placing a reflective warning triangle on the left behind the car.
Explanation
A towed passenger car must be marked at the back on the left side with a reflective warning triangle - answer B. The required marking is the triangle, and the Road Traffic Act allows only flashing amber signals instead of it, so switching on the hazard warning lights (A) does not describe this obligation, and the rear fog light (C) is used only to improve visibility in fog or heavy precipitation, and when switched on without need, it dazzles drivers behind.
The Road Traffic Act states that a towed vehicle, except a motorcycle, is marked at the back on the left side with a reflective warning triangle, and during poor visibility it must also have its sidelights on; instead of the triangle, the towed vehicle may show flashing amber signals visible to other road users. The towing vehicle, in turn, must have its dipped headlights on, also during the day. A triangle placed on the left side is most visible to drivers who are approaching from behind and want to overtake - it warns them that in front of them there is a combination of two connected vehicles that is moving slowly and cannot be overtaken in two parts.
