ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to a reflector unit for attachment to the sides of abnormally long vehicles and trailers. The reflector units have reflecting surfaces which reflect incident light towards the rear, sides and front of the vehicle thereby providing an indication, particularly at night, of the overall length of the vehicle. It is envisaged that this will reduce the hazards of overtaking abnormally long vehicles at night.
