Is your fire extinguisher expired?

A fire extinguisher is one of the mandatory elements of a car in Poland. There is a penalty for his absence. You should not be afraid of exceeding the expiration date. However, there are other difficulties as well.

What happens if, during a roadside inspection, the driver fails to present the fire extinguisher with the current expiration date to the officer?

The policeman will not entail any consequences from this, since he is only obliged to check her presence in the vehicle. The driver himself will not check if the fire extinguisher is working, because this requires a fireman.

In turn, during the technical inspection, the diagnostician may prohibit the movement of the vehicle due to the lack of a valid stamp, but is not obliged. However, it is important to check the expiration date of the fire extinguisher yourself.
