The expiration of the first-aid kits that drivers are required to have in their cars will change. Under the new rules, it will be possible to keep the kits after the expiration date.
At the same time, the date will not be checked during the regular technical inspection of the vehicle.
This stems from the amendment to the regulation on the operation of vehicles signed by Transport Minister Árpád Érsek (Most-Híd).
“With this change we wanted to accommodate drivers who were forced to regularly change their first-aid kids due to the expiration date, although the current contents did not require such frequent changes,” Érsek explained, as quoted by the TASR newswire.
