Do trailers with a maximum authorized mass of 400 kg have to carry their own license plate, different from that of the towing vehicle?
Traffic safety: Plates
Explanation
**Trailers** are wheeled platforms that are hitched to a motor vehicle to transport loads. They are divided into two categories: **light trailers** and **heavy trailers**. Light trailers can carry a maximum of 750 kilograms, while heavy trailers can carry more than 750 kilograms.

Regarding **license plates**, trailers and semi-trailers that can carry more than 750 kilograms must have their own license plate at the rear, in addition to the plate of the towing vehicle. However, trailers and semi-trailers that can carry less than 750 kilograms only need to carry the license plate of the towing vehicle.
Since trailers with a GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) of 400 kg are considered **light trailers** (as their load capacity is less than 750 kilograms), they do not need their own license plate. They only need to carry the plate of the vehicle towing them. Therefore, the correct answer is **No**.
