Correct answer

  • ASí, es obligatorio llevar un chaleco.Yes, you must carry one vest.
Explanation

A high-visibility reflective vest is part of the equipment a car must carry, and one is enough. Article 118.4 of the General Traffic Regulations requires the driver to put it on when they get out of the vehicle and go onto the carriageway or hard shoulder of a road outside built-up areas.
