All B licence questions · DGT question bank

Is it correct that only motor vehicles must have rear registration-plate lighting?

Correct answer

No, it is also required on non-agricultural trailers and semi-trailers.

No. Annex X of the General Vehicle Regulations also requires it on non-agricultural trailers and semi-trailers, as well as the relevant motor-vehicle categories. It is therefore not exclusive to motor vehicles. Requirements depend on category: not all vehicles, such as an ordinary bicycle, have a rear registration plate or this light. Nor should it be universally attributed to animal-drawn vehicles.

Legal basis: annex X RGV
