C1+EDifficulty 2/5

A trailer registered in Spain with a maximum authorised mass over 750 kg is being towed by its towing vehicle. How many number plates must it display at the rear?

Correct answer

Two: the trailer’s own registration and that of the towing vehicle.

Two: the trailer’s own registration plate and another bearing the towing vehicle’s registration. The General Vehicle Regulations, Annex XVIII, section III.4, require its own plate in the longitudinal centre plane and the towing vehicle’s plate on the right. The threshold concerns maximum authorised mass, not the actual weight that day. A single plate from either vehicle does not satisfy this case.
