About Required lighting and the MOT (APK): which statement is WRONG?
- ✓ Two rear reflectors are not a legal requirement for a passenger car.
- The passenger-car requirements name no fire extinguisher and no first-aid kit.
- By day with seriously impaired visibility (such as fog) dipped headlights are required, not full beam.
- 'If visibility is less than 50 metres due to very dense fog or heavy snowfall (NOT in rain!) you may switch on your rear fog light.' In rain the rear fog light stays off, even below 50 m visibility.
Correct answer: Two rear reflectors are not a legal requirement for a passenger car.
Explanation
Two red rear reflectors ARE required for passenger cars. Only the fire extinguisher is missing from the requirements list
Why learners get this wrong
- 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
- 'If visibility is less than 50 metres due to very dense fog or heavy snowfall (NOT in rain!) you may switch on your rear fog light.' In rain the rear fog light stays off, even below 50 m visibility
