alan Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Hi Insignia I'm pretty certain it's not a legal requirements in the UK but it makes sense if you've got one to use it. Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Uzzell Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 If you are referring to a diagonally-striped warning board like this http://www.towsure.com/product/Fiamma_Rear_Warning_Sign then there's no UK requirement to fit one to a motorhome's bike-rack. You'll note that it's also not compulsory in most Continental European countries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derek pringle Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Hi, Also worth noting that in Italy it has to be of a more specific type, the more expensive alluminium reflective version. cheers derek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starvin marvin Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 The diagonal stripes must also point down towards the centre of the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
