The holiday season is a big step, so it is time to travel around Poland and other countries. It is important to know what safety equipment must be on board our car during police inspections. It is important to remember that the requirements in Poland and abroad are very different.
Both in our country and abroad, we must be supplied primarily with a fire extinguisher and a warning triangle. Importantly, both components must bear the approval mark. Without a fire extinguisher and a triangle, there is a mandate risk of 20 to 500 zł. The fire extinguisher must be positioned so that it can be used immediately if necessary. The extinguishing agent content must be not less than 1 kg.
In Poland there is no requirement for a first aid kit and reflective vest, but it is certainly worth having in your car, for your own safety and for others. These elements are compulsory in the vast majority of EU countries, France, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Czech Republic, Germany or Slovakia. Interestingly, in the latter vest is also required for the passenger.
Drivers often forget about the proper marking of the vehicle's stoppage (during a malfunction or catching a rubber). For missing or incorrect signaling of the stoppage you have to pay a penalty of 150 zł, and on the motorways the tariff is expected to double the amount. This also applies to the marking of a towed vehicle.
France, Sweden, Norway, Switzerland, the Czech Republic, Italy, Spain and Slovakia - spare bulbs and safety vests are required in these countries. In France you also need two disposable breathers for the driver and the passenger. In Spanish we need spare glasses if we have information on mandatory use of glasses in our driving license.
