So what are the existing regs covering on-board extinguishers? Do they just have to be there or are they tested for effectiveness?
To back up Bob's comments I attended a fire in a saloon car last year, the onboard extinguisher had been triggered by the driver on his way out and it successfully filled the driver's footwell with foam. Sadly the fire was in the engine compartment and hadn't been touched - the upside was that it was quickly dealt with by trackside extinguishers.
