Which equipment must be present on a passenger vehicle intended to travel 25 mph or less?

A passenger vehicle intended to travel 25 mph or less must be equipped with a Slow-Moving Vehicle Emblem. This emblem is a crucial safety feature that indicates to other drivers that the vehicle operates at slower speeds. The visibility of the emblem helps to prevent accidents by alerting faster-moving vehicles to the presence of a slower vehicle, providing drivers the necessary warning to adjust their speed and driving behavior accordingly.

While side mirrors, rear window defrosters, and GPS units may be beneficial or necessary for various vehicles, they are not specific requirements for slow-moving vehicles as defined by Texas law. The Slow-Moving Vehicle Emblem is specifically mandated for any vehicle designed to operate at speeds of 25 mph or less, thus serving a vital role in ensuring both the safety of the slower vehicle and the overall flow of traffic.
