If you are driving a car towing a light trailer, are you obliged to carry fire extinguishing equipment?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Yes, it is mandatory. Although general regulations do not require private cars to carry a fire extinguisher (unlike buses or trucks), the rule changes when a vehicle combination is formed. The General Vehicle Regulations state that non-special vehicle combinations (such as a car plus a trailer, regardless of whether it is light or heavy) must carry approved fire extinguishing equipment in working order.
