What light signal are special vehicles required to use when driving on public roads at a speed not exceeding 40 km/h?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is the V-2 Luminous Signal. Detailed Explanation: According to traffic regulations, special vehicles and those under special transport regimes must ensure they are visible to prevent accidents due to their slow speed or size.  The 40 km/h Rule: When these vehicles travel on public roads at a speed not exceeding 40 km/h, it is mandatory to have the V-2 signal switched on.  What is the V-2 signal? It is a rotary or flashing amber light that must be visible in all directions from a distance of 100 meters.  Day and Night: Unlike low beam headlights (which depend on environmental visibility), the V-2 must be used both during the day and at night under these conditions. Why not the other options?   Low beam headlights are used to see and be seen in low light conditions (night, tunnels), but they are not the specific warning signal required strictly for being a slow special vehicle during the day (although if the V-2 breaks, low beams must be used along with hazard lights).   High beam headlights are prohibited if they dazzle other users and are not the specific warning signaling for slow vehicles.
