Is it permitted to ride a moped that does not have rearview mirrors?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

On two-wheeled mopeds it is mandatory to have at least the left rearview mirror (the right one is optional; General Vehicle Regulations, Annex III). Rearview mirrors are an extension of the rider's vision and allow you to monitor what happens behind and to the sides of the vehicle: with none, it is not possible to perform routine maneuvers such as merging, turning or changing lanes safely. Therefore, it is not correct to ride without mirrors. Allowing it at a very low speed on residential streets, or only on urban roads and never on the open road, is incorrect, because the obligation to have the mirror does not depend on speed or the type of road.
