Re: 1981 sidecar ruling

Hank, just a thought; how brave is your intended passenger?

Bear in mind whoever's sitting in the chair will be far more vulnerable to oncoming traffic than in a "conventional" RHD outfit, and also bear in mind that UK drivers rarely encounter sidecars these days, let alone LHD ones!

I personally think changing sides is a better option. Try this lot for help and advice, just found 'em with Google.....

Re: 1981 sidecar ruling

The good thing is that if you stick with it,there arnt many police officers out there who are aware of the law anyway.Try asking one about power to weight ratio for outfits.I spoke to 6, high up(thats not yorkshire speak) traffic cops who had no idea.
