Legality of my car!!
SteveW:
I went to the main station on saturday night and there was noone to speak to in person but the receptionist put me onto someone on the phone who said that as long as my tyres are legal he can't see a problem.
I also went to Tong on Sunday and one of the marshals there is also a copper, he also said that he didn't know of a law regarding visibility of the tyre from the front.
Thinking about it the receptionist gave me a number for traffic law so I'll try them and see what they say.
Steve.

While we are talking about this sort of stuff, what about bush wires? I always thought they were illegal but I've seem a number of 4x4s with them on.

They would probably fall into the 'sharp/jagged edges likely to cause harm' category. Worst case scenario is that a pedestrian/cyclist gets clipped by the vehicle, and caught on the wires that would then act like cheese wire. Not pleasant. My advice would be if you are on the road, unclip them. Stops you getting done under the con and use rules.

I suspect my old Sammy would have had trouble if front view of the tyres was a problem, you could see *all* of the tyre! I won't mention that they protruded about 3" from the arches, rubbed the chassis on full lock and the chassis was exposed (sharp edges?) at the front :oops:

Have you seen the lift shaft scene from the 1st Omen film?
If they aren't illegal, they should be!
