Carriage of objects such as fire extinguishers, warning triangle, reflective vests, first aid kit or spare bulbs in different European countries is governed by different regulations. In Poland it is mandatory to have only two first positions in a passenger vehicle, but having the others will certainly not hurt.
The wary driver should always be prepared for different circumstances. You never know when an unexpected traffic accident, a traffic accident, or even the life of a loved one or another participant may occur.
During mandatory vehicle inspections, the condition of the vehicle is not only technical. Every car registered in Poland must, in accordance with the Regulation of the Minister of Infrastructure of December 31, 2002, have a fire extinguisher and warning triangle fitted with an approval. The lack of these subjects required by law is associated with the negative result of the review, and the case of police in reflective clothing control threatens the mandate. The tariff provides for a fine of between PLN 20 and 500.
Experts at the Euro master service, however, point out that the possession of a fire extinguisher and a warning triangle is only half of the defense's success against a criminal record. These items cannot be placed in a place that is difficult to access. In addition, the fire extinguisher required in the event of a fire must necessarily be inspected once a year and the contents of the extinguishing agent must not be less than 1 kilogram.
It is not necessary to have a first aid kit in Poland, just as you do not need a reflective safety vest or a set of spare bulbs. The experts responsible for the reviews on Euro master’s services, however, agree that in the interest of the safety of others and their own, there are always those things at the ready. Bandage, disposable gloves or patches may be necessary in case of injury, not to mention serious events.
Specialists also say that you never know when a flashlight, work gloves or a handy set of basic tools can be useful. Sometimes even seemingly easy replacement of damaged wheel to spare, it may be problematic when it comes to take such work in the middle of the night without a jack and a spanner. A towing cable or starting cable can be a lifeline for the driver and vehicle in the autumn and winter season.
