About Required lighting and the MOT (APK): which statement is correct?
- ✓ Besides the owner/keeper, the driver is ALSO liable, as soon as the motor vehicle is actually driven on the road.
- With an expired APK only the person driving the car is liable; the owner who lends the car out is not.
- A fire extinguisher and a first-aid kit are legally required in the car.
- In fog you switch to full beam, because that gives more visibility.
Correct answer: Besides the owner/keeper, the driver is ALSO liable, as soon as the motor vehicle is actually driven on the road.
Explanation
Besides the owner/keeper, the driver is ALSO liable, as soon as the motor vehicle is actually driven on the road. Two liable parties at once, not one
Why learners get this wrong
- For an expired APK the owner or keeper AND, as soon as the car is driven on the road, the driver are liable: two parties at once
- The passenger-car requirements name no fire extinguisher and no first-aid kit. Both are sensible, neither is an inspection requirement
- By day with seriously impaired visibility (such as fog) dipped headlights are required, not full beam. Full beam is moreover forbidden when meeting or following other traffic
