Will points be deducted if there is no fire extinguisher in the car?
1 Answers
Not having a fire extinguisher in the car will indeed result in point deductions, but it depends on the type of vehicle being driven. Point deductions mainly apply to vehicles such as buses, school buses, and trucks. Below is relevant information about vehicle fire extinguishers: 1. Fire extinguisher pressure gauge: During the warranty period, it is necessary to assess whether the fire extinguisher is truly effective. Not only should the manufacturing date be checked, but also the pressure gauge of the fire extinguisher. If the pointer is in the green zone, it indicates the fire extinguisher is functioning normally. If it is in the yellow zone, it means the pressure is too high, and if it is in the red zone, it indicates insufficient pressure, requiring the fire extinguisher to be pressurized. 2. Factory maintenance: Fire extinguishers should undergo maintenance once every 5 years after leaving the factory. This timeframe should be noted carefully. If the fire extinguisher is ineffective, it will be useless during use, making regular inspections extremely important. 3. Replacing the fire extinguisher: Generally, the warranty period for portable carbon dioxide fire extinguishers is 10 years. After this period, the fire extinguisher should be replaced promptly.
