Dunno but you need a bayle of hay for a hackney carriage so may be worth
slinging one in to show willing ;-)

Seem to recall this being discussed in here recently, and that the
answer was yes.

These Regulations amend the Public Service Vehicles (Conditions
of Fitness, Equipment and Use) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1995 ("the
1995 Regulations").

Regulation 42 of the 1995 Regulations requires every public
service vehicle to carry a fire extinguisher which meets certain
requirements. These requirements include a requirement that it must
comply with the specification issued by the British Standards
Institution number BS 5423: 1977, BS 5423: 1980 or BS 5423: 1987 and
which meet one of two prescribed levels of test under such a specification.

Regulation 42 is amended so as to make it permissible for a
public service vehicle to be used if it carries a fire extinguisher
which does not meet the requirements under the British Standard
specifications provided it meets the other requirements of regulation 42
and has an equivalent level of performance under a corresponding
equivalent standard. These provisions are inserted in discharge of
obligations under Article 30 of the Treaty of Rome (regulation 2(3)).

Regulation 43 of the 1995 Regulations requires a bus used for
express or contract carriage to carry first aid equipment. The
regulation is amended so as to exclude a bus used for contract carriage
over a route which does not exceed a distance of 50 kilometres
(regulation 2(4)).

Regulation 57 of the 1995 Regulations prohibits the removal of a
fuel filler cap or the filling of a fuel tank while the engine of a
vehicle is running. The regulation is substituted and the provision now
applies only to a vehicle propelled by a petrol driven engine
(regulation 2(6)).

Regulation 64 of the 1995 Regulations prohibits a vehicle from
drawing a trailer except when an empty vehicle is being towed in an
emergency. The regulation is substituted so that in such circumstances
neither vehicle is permitted to have passengers on board (regulation 2(8)).

Except those regs are Northern Ireland not GB, mostly NI are the same as GB but
not always.

don't actually answer the question, whether it needs one to pass the test,
either. I was already aware that it had to carry one when operational.

Been thinking about this anyway, really you should carry & be able to use both. I'm booked on an
advanced first aid course for work & i do have a fire extinguisher. Having said that, I am in the fire
business.

It happens, but you never know whe it could be needed, even for your own family. It's not long ago i saw
a woman **** her Passat through 40 yards of dry stone wall that was 6 foot high. Lucky for her, she was
fine, but the next one might not be.

Several years working as a firefighter taught me the value of a decent
extinguisher - all my vehicles have at least a 2kg dry powder one.
Incidentally, in NZ it's an insurance requirement when playing off road
at any pay site or club run event that you carry at least that size of
extinguisher.

which reminds me, must put up the new smoke alarm. got one of the other
kind this time, the non-ionising sort. The other bugger (before it went
senile) used to go off every time we used the grill.

I think this one is an optical type one. useful pointers in the
destructions about where to site it, such as not right at the top of a
pointy bit, 'cos the smoke sometimes doesn't get there.
