A vehicle being used for the removal of snow from a roadway must be equipped with a
- flashing red light.
- flashing green light.
- flashing blue light. ✓
- flashing amber light.
Answer: C. flashing blue light.
A vehicle used for removing snow from a roadway must have a flashing blue light.
Why this is the answer
The truck handbook passage on snow plows says snow-removal vehicles on public roadways are equipped with flashing blue lights that can be seen from 150 metres. It also explains that these blue lights warn drivers of wide, slow-moving vehicles. That direct statement matches the bank answer, so the required equipment is the flashing blue light, not the red lights used by emergency vehicles.
Why the other answers are wrong
- A. flashing red light. — The handbook links flashing red lights to emergency vehicles responding to an emergency, not to snow-removal vehicles.
- B. flashing green light. — No passage says snow-removal vehicles use a flashing green light, so it is not supported as the required equipment.
- D. flashing amber light. — The passages do not describe a flashing amber light as the equipment required for snow-removal vehicles.
Remember it
Link snow clearing with blue: when a vehicle is clearing the road, think flashing blue.
