Legality of my car!!

<< < (4/10) > >>

Lord Shagg-Pyle:
As one of the fascist oppressors of the down trodden masses, I thought I'd give my opinion.
You can have what ever width wheels you like on your car, as long as the width of the tyre is covered as you look down upon it.
You are not allowed to have any sharp/jagged protrusions on the body work that could cut or injure if someone walks into it or is hit by the vehicle.
As for the height of the lift, to the best of my knowledge, I have never heard of that breaking any rules in relation to the Construction and Use regulations, which is the info that you want.
I do have a traffic law book around somewhere; I'll try to find what the act and sections are.

What was the document he gave you? Was it a 7 day one to take in your driving documents, or a 14 day Vehicle Defect Rectification Scheme form telling you to get it sorted and then checked by an MoT tester?

As one of the fascist masses for the down-trodden oppressors, I think we'd very much appreciate your input on this one Mr Pyle!

SteveW:
Good to see everyone agrees with me on this one.

And to answer Lord Shagg-Pyle, he didn't give me a producer of any kind leading me to believe there's nothing wrong with my vehicle or he would have done. How can he expect me to alter it to make it legal if he's not going to tell me what legal is!

I have been stopped a couple of times by local plod when driving my hybrid stripped down. http://share.ovi.com/media/Muddymike.Land-Rover/Muddymike.10134?sort=5

I was then followed into town by a traffic car which to my relief drove on past when I parked. Alas when I came back from the chip shop the same traffic car was parked behind me and two bobbies were eying up the hybrid. To my immense relieve the opening statement from one of them was " Is this the one that was in LRO?" Turned out he was a fellow enthusiast, and went on to answer a few questions and agree there was absolutely nothing wrong with me driving it stripped down.

So why not approach the next traffic cop you come accros, tell him the story and get a more informed opinion.

Mike
