Question 7637
Is it allowed to drive a vehicle whose license plates have obstructions that prevent them from being read and identified, or make this difficult?
- Yes, as long as the front license plate can be read correctly.
- Yes, as long as the vehicle only travels on urban roads and road sections through built-up areas (travesías).
- No; the driver must check that the license plates can be read correctly.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: No; the driver must check that the license plates can be read correctly.
No. Before setting off, the driver must check that all license plates can be read clearly, not just the front one. A dirty or covered plate, like the rear plate on the car in the image, also violates the rule in cities and on road sections through built-up areas (travesías).
