BDifficulty 2/5

Must a private car without a trailer or a service subject to special requirements carry a fire extinguisher under the general compulsory-equipment rules?

Correct answer

No.

No. Annex XII.2 of the General Vehicle Regulations requires it for buses, mixed-use and goods vehicles above 3,500 kg MAM, and non-special vehicle combinations. The 3,500 kg threshold applies to those mixed-use and goods vehicles, not as an exemption for lighter buses. A car forming a combination with a trailer may have a different duty; this question excludes a trailer.
