Correct answer

  • CSí, es obligatorio.Yes, it is compulsory.
Explanation

The left mirror is compulsory on all cars in Spain. It lets the driver watch the vehicles on their left, which is crucial for changing lanes, overtaking and joining traffic. In addition, the right mirror is compulsory if the interior mirror does not give full visibility because of the vehicle's structure or its load.
