This legislation has been repealed.
Every trailer (other
than a pole-type trailer) that, together with its load or equipment, is 2.2
metres or more, in width, or that projects more than 150 millimetres,
laterally, beyond either side of the motor vehicle by which it is drawn shall
be equipped with —
(a)
clearance lamps —
(i)
one fitted on each side at the front, and one on each
side at the rear, of the trailer; and
(ii)
where the trailer, together with its load or equipment
exceeds 7.5 metres in length, one on each side, midway between the front and
rear clearance lamps,
and
(b)
sidemarker lamps —
(i)
one fitted on each side at or near the front, and one on
each side at or near the rear, of the trailer; and
(ii)
where the trailer, together with its load or equipment,
exceeds 7.5 metres in length, one fitted on each side, midway between the
front and rear sidemarker lamps,
but where a trailer,
(being principally for the carriage of boats or for any other special purpose)
is so constructed as to render compliance with this regulation impracticable,
one clearance lamp and one sidemarker lamp shall be fitted on each side, at or
near the centre of the trailer.
