Can we also Ban this random american that keeps bragging about being Ex chairman too?


Many have tried - including myself - but all have failed.  That’s because I know where the bodies are buried.  😎

That is great news!  Perfect timing too with (hopefully) some warmer weather on the way and some relaxation in covid restrictions.

Where's the head rests gone?

 

I think they would make a great pair off knee rests for gardening 🙈

The IVA rules can often be a bit mad. I mean how is someone’s head meant to end up in contact with the “sharp edges” on that filler cap?

 

If they somehow end up nutting that, then the sharp edge is the least of their worries!

 

(steering wheel next!)

The external projections are as much about pedestrian safety as occupants...but yes, if your head managed to hit that cap I’d imagine things are already pretty much FUBAR but that would certainly finish the job.

 

The rules are complicated enough as they are, if they tried to create endless conditions and exemptions it would be utterly unworkable.

The projections thing was once explained to me by an IVA inspector, (and ex Club member, multiple kit car owner), as yes, if as a pedestrian, you get hit by “that” edge, you’re already going to have many broken bones; however, the radius could be the difference between you waiting for an ambulance with your legs smashed, and you waiting for a hearse with an artery ripped open.

 

Its not about necessarily avoiding injury, but managing it, limiting it, and ultimately improving long term prognosis

Most cars have their filler caps on the side where they’re much more likely to see a glancing blow with a pedestrian.

 

the problem is the rules can’t be written for every different position or scenario.
