Is it permitted for the transported load or its accessories to hide the vehicle's lights or light signals?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

No, it is strictly prohibited. According to General Traffic Regulations, the arrangement of the load must be done in such a way that it does not hide lighting or light-signaling devices, mandatory plates or badges, or manual warnings by drivers. It is vital for road safety that other users can see your intentions (turn signals, brake lights) and your position (position lights). Not even with a special authorization is it allowed to annul the visibility of these basic safety elements, and of course, the license plate cannot be covered either.
