Questions Learners Have About Protruding Loads & V-20

Find answers to the most common queries learners have when practising Protruding Loads & V-20, including how questions match the official theory exam in Spain, how scoring works, and how this practice improves exam readiness.

What is the V-20 board used for in Spain?

The V-20 board, a square panel with diagonal red and white stripes, is mandatory in Spain to signal loads that protrude from the rear of your vehicle, making them more visible to other road users and complying with DGT regulations.

How much can a load protrude from a passenger car in Spain?

For passenger cars, a divisible load can protrude up to 10% of the vehicle's length from the rear, while an indivisible load can protrude up to 15% of the vehicle's length from the rear.

Can a load protrude from the sides of my car in Spain?

No, loads are generally not permitted to protrude from the sides of passenger cars in Spain. Protrusion is strictly limited to the rear of the vehicle, provided it meets legal length limits and is properly signalled.

How should I signal a protruding load at night in Spain?

At night, or in conditions of reduced visibility, a red light must be attached to the outermost part of the load, in addition to the V-20 board, to ensure it is clearly visible to other drivers and comply with Spanish DGT rules.

When do I need two V-20 boards for a protruding load?

You need two V-20 boards when the load protrudes along the entire width of the rear of your vehicle. The boards should be placed at the lower ends of the load, forming an inverted 'V' shape for maximum visibility.

Are there different DGT rules for divisible and indivisible loads?

Yes, for passenger cars, a divisible load can protrude up to 10% of the vehicle's length, while an indivisible load can protrude up to 15%. This distinction is crucial for compliance with Spanish DGT regulations regarding cargo transport.
