If your licence carries a condition because of a physical disability and that disability may affect your driving, displaying the designated mark on the front and rear of the car is an absolute legal duty, not merely a duty to make an effort.

体が不自由なことを理由に免許に条件を付けられている人は、それが運転に影響するおそれがあっても、標識を付けることは努力目標ではなく必ず守らなければならない義務である。

This statement is FALSE

Explanation

For a physical disability, the law says only that the driver "must endeavour" to display the designated mark on the front and rear of the car when the disability may affect driving. That is a best-effort duty. It differs from the rule for hearing impairment, which flatly prohibits driving without the mark.

Original text

当該肢体不自由が自動車の運転に影響を及ぼすおそれがあるときは、内閣府令で定めるところにより普通自動車の前面及び後面に内閣府令で定める様式の標識を付けて普通自動車を運転するように努めなければならない。
