provided it does not blind other road users, to improve visibility.

The Electronic Stability Control (ESC1) function helps the driver
avoid skidding and improves the vehicle's directional stability.
This symbol will be displayed in
the instrument panel when the system is intervening.
When the system has intervened to apply the brakes, a pulsing sound may be heard
and the vehicle may accelerate more slowly than expected when the accelerator pedal
is depressed...
The greater the distance between the load and the bicycle holder, the greater
the load on the hitch and on the vehicle.

If possible, mount the bicycles symmetrically, as close as possible to the
center of the vehicle...
