Correct answer
- CNo, porque el espejo exterior izquierdo es imprescindible.No, because the left-hand exterior mirror is essential.
Explanation
According to Annex III of the General Vehicle Regulations (Reglamento General de Vehículos), the left-hand exterior mirror is compulsory on cars and other motor cars. A right-hand or interior mirror does not replace it, so with the left one broken you cannot drive until it is repaired.
