Safety equipment

The right safety equipment can be crucial if an accident happens, which is why it is a good idea to have basic equipment such as a fire extinguisher, warning triangle, first aid kit and safety vest easily accessible.

A fire extinguisher is relevant for standard cars, race cars, rally cars, trackday cars, service vehicles and boats. In case of fire or smoke, quick access to a fire extinguisher can make a big difference, especially if it is mounted so it can be reached quickly.

A warning triangle is also an important part of the car’s safety equipment. It is used to warn other road users in case of breakdown or accident and should be placed at the correct distance from the car, so other drivers have time to react.

A first aid kit is practical for both minor and larger injuries, whether used on holiday, in the workshop, for motorsport or in the car for daily use.

In several countries, safety vests are required by law for people in the car, so it is a good idea to keep safety vests ready, especially when driving abroad.
