Show the correct answer
Correct answer
A. A horn.
Explanation
In the photo there is a red scooter with a top box and a helmet, and next to it symbols: a horn, a fire extinguisher and a first-aid kit. A horn is compulsory equipment on a moped - answer A.
The rules on the technical conditions of vehicles require a moped to be equipped with a bell or another warning device with a sound that is not shrill. The horn lets you warn others when there is danger, for example when a pedestrian suddenly steps onto the roadway. A fire extinguisher (answer B) is compulsory in motor vehicles except motorcycles, and it is not among the requirements for a moped. A first-aid kit (answer C) is not required on a moped either, although it is worth carrying one in the top box. Compulsory equipment on a moped also includes, among other things, two independent brakes, a mirror on the left-hand side, a silencer, a stand and footrests.
