At a check just outside Zwolle an officer walks around your passenger car. For which of these three things is it NOT an offence if it is missing?

A fire extinguisher in the boot

The brake light on the right-hand side

The red reflector on the left-hand side

Explanation

False — you treat the brake light as a minor detail. A passenger car must have two working brake lights at the rear; if one is missing, the car does not meet the requirements. What is not required: a fire extinguisher. (VekaBest p.205 (Hoofdstuk 13 §13.1 Voertuigeisen — Verlichting); VekaBest p.191 (Hoofdstuk 11 §11.3, cross-chapter cite voor mistachterlicht))
