I have a mate who has spinners on his wheels.
He has been summoned for breach of
"regulation 100(1) of the Road Vehicles (Construction and Use) Regulations 1986, section 40A of the Road Traffic Act 1988 and Schedule 2 to the Road Traffic Offenders Act 1988"
because his car had
"wheels were fitted with a 5 spoked weighted device which was attached to the wheel at the center and was capable of revolving independently of the wheel, If a small child were to put their hand on the wheel when the device was spinning. They would be likely to suffer injury that danger was caused or was likely to be caused to any person in or on it or on a road"
If this is correct, spinners are illegal. Anyone know what the position is?
Apart from the fact that small children are highly unlikely to be on a road where cars are driving through with their spinners spinning, this looks to me like plod has not got enough to do.
Thoughts anyone?
Thanks.
