Correct answer

  • BLlevar la placa L durante el primer año tras obtener el permiso.Display the L plate during the first year after obtaining the licence.
Explanation

Under Annex XI of the General Vehicle Regulations (RGV), a driver who obtains their first licence must display sign V-13, with the letter L, at the rear left of the vehicle for one year. Novice drivers no longer have a specific 80 km/h limit; they follow the general limits.
