Which of the following elements should each passenger car be equipped with?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
B. With a fire extinguisher.
Explanation
Every passenger car must be equipped with a fire extinguisher - answer B. The regulations do not require a first aid kit (A) or a spare wheel (C), although it is worth carrying them.
The Regulation on the technical conditions of vehicles states that a motor vehicle is equipped with a fire extinguisher placed in a place that is easy to reach if it needs to be used, and also with a warning triangle; the requirement does not apply to a motorcycle. A 1 kg powder fire extinguisher is enough to put out a fire at an early stage, for example in the engine compartment, before the fire spreads to the passenger compartment. You keep it under the seat or in the door pocket, not in the boot under the suitcases, and every few years you check its expiry date.
Legal basis: § 11 para. 1 point 13 and 14 of the Regulation on the technical conditions of vehicles and the scope of their necessary equipment
