In what circumstances is it mandatory to fit the long vehicle marker plate (V-6 sign) on the rear?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The V-6 sign (long vehicle) indicates that the vehicle or combined vehicle has a length greater than 12 meters (General Vehicle Regulations, Annex XI). It is placed at the rear, centered on the axis of the vehicle (or on two symmetrical plates), at a height above the ground of between 500 and 1,500 millimeters. The fact that it is a combined vehicle made up of coupled vehicles is not enough to require it: a passenger car with a light trailer does not reach 12 meters and does not carry it, because what counts is the total length. Nor does a length of exactly 12 meters require it: the rule requires the length to be greater than 12 meters, not equal to or greater.
