Show the correct answer
Correct answer
C. At least one rear-view mirror on the left.
Explanation
In the photo there is a white and red scooter seen from the side, and next to it symbols: a warning triangle, a fire extinguisher and a mirror. At least one rear-view mirror on the left is compulsory equipment on a moped - answer C.
The rules on the technical conditions of vehicles require a moped to be equipped with a rear-view mirror placed on the left-hand side of the vehicle. In it you see vehicles that are overtaking you or coming up from behind, before you start turning left or changing lanes. A warning triangle (answer A) and a fire extinguisher (answer B) are compulsory in cars, and this requirement does not apply to a moped. It is also worth having a right-hand mirror, because it makes observation easier when changing lanes to the right. You adjust the mirror while sitting on the moped: you should see the road behind you in it and only the edge of your own shoulder.
Legal basis: § 53 para. 4 point 5 of the Regulation on the technical conditions of vehicles and the scope of their necessary equipment
