Correct answer

  • BEs obligatoria para los ciclomotores puestos en circulación a partir del 01-11-99 y opcional para los puestos en circulación antes de dicha fecha.It is compulsory for mopeds first registered from 1 November 1999 and optional for those registered before that date.
Explanation

The correct answer is that it is compulsory for mopeds first registered from 1 November 1999 and optional for those registered before that date. This is because the rules say that mopeds manufactured from 1 November 1999 must have a brake light. However, for mopeds manufactured before that date, the brake light is optional and signals for changing direction can be given with the arm.
