Has someone slipped up at the Ministry? The proposals published at the end of February for marking all goods vehicles over 3 tons unladen stipulate that the rear marker plate shall be made up of alternate strips of red and white reflective material and red or orange fluorescent material. But the ECE agreement on vehicle markings—which the UK has undertaken to follow—prohibits the use of a white light or white reflective material showing to the rear.
It is not as though the point is unknown; after all, the new reflective number plates now appearing have a yellow background for this very reason.
