Those are also legal requirements along with spare bulbs (not in UK though!) but knew about them anyway.we also carried 2 red triangles and 2 hi viz jackets . common sense again ,but could also be a requirement
Probably has, but had not realised, things like spare bulbs should be a requirement in Uk, maybe there would be fewer cars driving round with one headlamp...But it would need enforcing! And actually, some bulbs on modern vehicles are so hard to get at, couldn't change them on the road! Had a fiat punto ( or maybe a Ford fiesta...) which had to be put on a ramp when needed to fit a new indicator bulb...the garage fitting new tyres took longer to do it than the tyres. But they didn't charge me, those were the days!I thought having spare glass had been in a few years ..
I thought the spare bulbs was for all eu country's ..Probably has, but had not realised, things like spare bulbs should be a requirement in Uk, maybe there would be fewer cars driving round with one headlamp...But it would need enforcing!

Totally agree. I was being somewhat tongue in cheek with my post.if you carry a spare pair then you've done all you can reasonably be expected to do . the alternative is mad , that you would carry an infinite number of spare pairs .
No, in some they are a recommendation, some legal and you can be fined if not carried. In UK not even an official recommendation as far as I can see! Carry them anyway but, same as hi vis jackets, warning triangles not a legal requirement in UK.I thought the spare bulbs was for all eu country's ..
You can buy them in filling stations can’t you or for £6 if u believe TV ads!!!!Yes the provision is called going to the option to buy/order another pair because if you are that dozy ( I’m using a nice word here) to leave them behind in a cafe and you need them to drive how can you be sure you are not going to do that again with the only pair you now have left and then how are you going to drive
