They don't test the strength or flex, but if the examiner thinks that it isn't strong enough then the onus will be on you to prove it is.

Best way is to over rather than under-engineer it, and to follow classic chassis designs as far as possible.





As some day it may happen that a victim must be found,
I've got a little list-- I've got a little list
Of society offenders who might well be underground,
And who never would be missed-- who never would be missed!
