BDifficulty 3/5

Must a motorcycle carry a V-16 breakdown-warning beacon?

Correct answer

No; its use is recommended but not mandatory.

No, it is not mandatory for motorcycles, although the DGT recommends it for warning of an incident. This does not remove the duty to prevent a broken-down motorcycle from becoming a hazard or obstruction. From 1 October 2026, motorcycles must carry a high-visibility reflective vest under Annex XII of the Spanish Vehicle Regulations.
