What is the required distance to attach a red flag or light for a load extending beyond your vehicle?

1 metre
1.5 metres
2 metres
2.5 metres

The correct answer is: 1.5 metres

A load that extends beyond the vehicle must have a red flag or light attached to indicate the overhang clearly to others on the road. The requirement for the distance of 1.5 metres is established to ensure that the flag or light is visible to drivers approaching from behind and to the sides. This distance helps prevent accidents and ensures that other road users are adequately warned of the protruding load. Having the flag or light positioned at this distance allows for safe navigation around the vehicle, increasing awareness and providing sufficient warning to following vehicles to maintain a safe distance. It ensures that the load is not only visible but also complies with safety regulations, enhancing the overall safety of transporting oversized loads.
