No doubt it breaks some rule or other though.

I suggest you check with your local road laws before deciding to cruise down to the coast :lifesaver:

Legally because the tail gate when open over hangs more than 150 mm and not more than 1200 mm it would be ok but you would have to have a red flag on it that my take anyway

I wonder if a strip of hi-vis/reflective vynil would suffice instead of a flag. Would be a lot neater, and would be hidden when you close the top gate.

I would think they would get you for either neg driving or unsecure load if you had anything in the back(mattress etc). That is of course unless you were not drawing attention to yourself......:Chin: in a Sandman panelvan
