In what circumstance is it mandatory to fit the V-6 long vehicle plate at the rear of a bus?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The V-6 sign (long vehicle) is intended to warn other road users that they are behind a vehicle or combined vehicle of larger-than-usual dimensions, so that they take extreme care in maneuvers such as overtaking. According to the General Vehicle Regulations, this reflective plate with a yellow background and red border (or the two equivalent plates) is mandatory for any motor vehicle or combined vehicle whose total length exceeds 12 meters. Therefore, it does not depend exclusively on its being an articulated bus (it will only carry it if it exceeds that length) nor on the mere fact of towing a trailer, unless the resulting combined vehicle exceeds 12 meters.
