Markers for a lateral projection
8 (1) If the user of the vehicle shows that it is not reasonably practicable to fit side markers in accordance with paragraph 7, the load must be marked with tape so that the point at which the width of the load is at its greatest is clearly visible from the front, rear and side of the vehicle.
(2) The tape must be—
(a) red, yellow or white (or any combination); and
(b) made of day-glow, fluorescent or retro-reflective material which is of a standard approved by—
