Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: Every motor vehicle with an all up weight of at least 5,000 kg, except for buses.
Safety shoes are wedges placed under the wheels to stop a vehicle from rolling, for example when parked on a slope or broken down. They must be carried in every motor vehicle with an all up weight of at least 5,000 kg, except buses. Such heavy vehicles are especially dangerous if they roll away. The duty does not cover light vehicles or every commercial vehicle regardless of weight.
