Question 3911

If your passenger car is towing a light trailer, are you required to carry among your accessories an approved fire-extinguishing unit (fire extinguisher) in working condition?

  1. Yes.
  2. No.
  3. Only when driving on roads outside built-up areas.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Yes.

Yes. A passenger car towing a trailer forms a combination of vehicles, even if the trailer is light. That means it must carry an approved fire extinguisher in working condition, wherever it is driven. In the picture, the red fire extinguisher is in the passenger car’s trunk.
