In the event that a motorcycle is installed with a single rear-view mirror, on which side must it be mandatorily placed?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

General Vehicle Regulations state that the left exterior rear-view mirror is always mandatory for all motorcycles. The right mirror only becomes mandatory if the motorcycle is homologated to exceed 100 km/h. Therefore, if the bike only has one mirror (either because it does not exceed that speed or because the right one is optional), it must necessarily be located on the left side to facilitate vision during overtaking and merging into traffic.
