Show the correct answer
Correct answer
A. A warning triangle.
Explanation
In the photo there is a warning triangle, packs of spare bulbs and a hands-free kit for a phone. The mandatory equipment of every passenger car is a warning triangle - answer A. A set of spare bulbs (B) and a hands-free device (C) are extra, non-mandatory equipment.
The Regulation on the technical conditions of vehicles states that a motor vehicle is equipped with a triangle to be placed on the road, intended to warn of the presence of a vehicle at a standstill, and with a fire extinguisher; only a single-track motorcycle does not have to have a triangle. The triangle must be in working order and approved (homologated), because not having one during a roadside check or technical inspection is a problem, and in a breakdown it is a real danger. Spare bulbs make it easier to fix a blown light on the road, and a hands-free kit lets you legally talk on the phone while driving, but they are not required by the regulations.
Legal basis: § 11 para. 1 point 13 of the Regulation on the technical conditions of vehicles and the scope of their necessary equipment
