Si debido a la carga que transporta en su vehículo no ve bien por el espejo retrovisor interior, ¿debe llevar instalado el espejo exterior derecho?

If, because of the load in your vehicle, you cannot see well in the interior rear-view mirror, must you have the right-hand exterior mirror fitted?

  • ASí, pero sólo si en llano puedo ver por él una distancia por detrás de 60 metros.Yes, but only if on level ground I can see 60 metres behind me with it.
  • BNo, es suficiente con el espejo exterior izquierdo.No, the left-hand exterior mirror is enough.
  • CSí.Yes.
Show answer

Correct answer

  • CSí.Yes.
Explanation

Yes. When the load prevents you from seeing in the interior mirror, the right-hand exterior mirror becomes compulsory, as well as the left-hand one (Annex III of the General Vehicle Regulations). The left-hand one alone is not enough, because you would lose sight of the right-hand side.
