Only buses and coaches, combinations of vehicles (other than special vehicles), mixed-use vehicles and motor vehicles with a MAM over 3,500 kg must carry an approved fire extinguisher. So cars and motorcycles do not have to carry one. Cars, mixed-use vehicles and goods vehicles with a MAM of up to 3,500 kg (except three-wheeled vehicles and quadricycles) must carry: - One hazard warning device: an amber-yellow device with geolocation and its own power supply (batteries). It is placed on the highest possible point of the broken-down vehicle, to make it as visible as possible. - One reflective vest. - A spare wheel or temporary-use wheel with the tools needed to change wheels, or an alternative system that gives enough guarantee that you can keep moving.
