It is meant only as a guide to assist in visualizing specific items
You are advised to go through the articles in Chapter 1, one by one and
ensure that your vehicle complies with each rule.
Key areas to be aware of are:
Roll bar (strength and clearance to helmet)
Bulkhead (no gaps)
Bulkhead between tyres and driver
Brakes (must work properly)
Chain guard
Make sure your chains are strong enough (lots of chains broke in 2010)
