Show the correct answer
Correct answer
C. White light installed at the front.
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 the lens of a front lamp. A white light at the front is compulsory equipment on a moped - answer C.
The rules on the technical conditions of vehicles require a moped to have at the front one white dipped headlight, placed on the centre line of the vehicle and lighting the road for at least 30 m. Thanks to it you can see the road after dark and others can see you - that is why you switch on dipped headlights on every ride, also during the day, unless you have daytime running lights. A warning triangle (answer A) and a fire extinguisher (answer B) are not compulsory on a moped. At the back a moped must have a red sidelight (position light) and a reflector, and newer models also a "stop" brake light.
Legal basis: § 53 para. 2 point 1 of the Regulation on the technical conditions of vehicles and the scope of their necessary equipment; Art. 51 para. 1 and 2 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym)
