Show the correct answer
Correct answer
C. Warning triangle.
Explanation
In the photo you can see the front of a yellow and red city bus with the driver in the cab. A warning triangle is mandatory equipment of a city bus - answer C.
The Regulation on the technical conditions of vehicles requires every motor vehicle, except a single-track motorcycle, to be equipped with a reflective warning triangle - this also applies to a city bus. However, the same act excludes a spare wheel with a tyre (answer A) and a first aid kit (answer B) from the mandatory equipment of a city bus used in urban public transport. In a city, a bus will quickly get technical and medical help, but when it stands broken down on the roadway, the triangle must warn other drivers. That is why, before you set off on your route, you check that the triangle is in the bus.
Legal basis: § 11 para. 1 point 13 and § 18 para. 1 point 5 and 6 and para. 2 of the Regulation of the Minister of Infrastructure on the technical conditions of vehicles and the scope of their necessary equipment
