If you are towing a non-light trailer with a Maximum Authorized Mass (MAM) of 850 kg, must it display its own license plate in addition to that of the towing vehicle?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is Yes. Under Spanish regulations, license plate requirements depend on the trailer's Maximum Authorized Mass (MAM): Light trailers (MAM ≤ 750 kg): Do not have independent registration. They only display the towing vehicle's license plate on the rear. Non-light trailers (MAM 750 kg): Like the one in the question (850 kg), they require their own Registration Certificate and insurance. On the rear, they must display two plates: Their own license plate (red background, starting with 'R') located on the left or center. The towing vehicle's license plate (white background) located on the right. Therefore, since it exceeds 750 kg, it must carry both.
