Correct answer
C. At least two external mirrors.
Explanation
In the photo you can see a single-track motorcycle and next to it three objects: a warning triangle, a fire extinguisher and two mirrors. The mandatory equipment of a single-track motorcycle with a maximum speed higher than 100 km/h includes at least two exterior mirrors - answer C.
The Regulation on the technical conditions of vehicles states that a motorcycle is equipped with at least one exterior mirror on the left-hand side, and a motorcycle whose maximum speed exceeds 100 km/h with at least two exterior mirrors, one on the left and one on the right-hand side. A warning triangle is compulsory in motor vehicles, but the rule excludes the single-track motorcycle; a fire extinguisher is not required on any motorcycle. The logic is simple: a fast motorcycle changes lanes on expressways and motorways, where you must see what is happening on both sides behind you. Two mirrors are the minimum, but they still do not show the blind spot - before changing lanes you always glance over your shoulder.
Legal basis: § 11 para. 1 point 5b, 5c, 13 and 14 of the Regulation on the technical conditions of vehicles and the scope of their necessary equipment
