Is it mandatory to carry an approved fire extinguishing equipment in a passenger car intended for private use?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

No, it is not mandatory to carry a fire extinguisher in private passenger cars, although it is recommended to be able to act in case of a small fire. Regulations require a fire extinguisher specifically for: buses, mixed vehicles, goods transport vehicles (trucks and vans), and vehicle combinations (cars towing a trailer). The answer mentioning 'more than 5 occupants' is incorrect because the number of seats in a private car does not impose this obligation.
