Vehicle-mounted fire extinguishers play a very important protective role in safe driving. For safety reasons, we can equip our own vehicles with a portable fire extinguisher. Will there be points deducted if there is no fire extinguisher on the vehicle? Many car enthusiasts have doubts about this issue. Today, Shu Shu will help everyone solve this problem.

Will there be points deducted if there is no fire extinguisher on the vehicle?

It is true that not having a fire extinguisher on the vehicle will result in point deductions. However, this also depends on the type of vehicle being driven. The point deductions mainly apply to buses, school buses, trucks and other vehicles. There is no mandatory requirement for private cars, so private car owners can rest assured.

However, the police still suggest that all car owners keep a fire extinguisher in their vehicles just in case. Even if you don't need it yourself, you can still offer help when encountering car owners in need. The vehicle-mounted fire extinguisher is not very heavy and basically has no impact on fuel consumption, provided that a relatively small-sized vehicle-mounted fire extinguisher is chosen.

The usage method of vehicle-mounted fire extinguishers

If a car catches fire, the first thing to do is to stay calm and not be nervous. Analyze the situation first and then make a quick judgment.

When holding a fire extinguisher, stand in the upwind direction of the fire. This can prevent scalding and ensure your own safety before attempting to put out the fire.

Pull out the safety pin, hold the nozzle firmly, and hold the pressure handle tightly with the other hand. Aim the nozzle at the base of the flame so that the fire can be extinguished quickly.
