Correct answer
- CNo, si es un turismo o una motocicleta.No, if it is a car or a motorcycle.
Explanation
Annex XII of the General Vehicle Regulations does not include a fire extinguisher in the equipment for cars or motorcycles. It is required for buses, goods and mixed-use vehicles over 3,500 kg, and vehicle combinations, so it is not true that only buses carry one.
