Field of view obstruction
cloudy - 6/7/06 at 09:35 PM

I'm mid way through my mid engined buggy build. Looking to the SVA test - are the "a pillars" going to be in an illegal part of my field of view do you think?

Any one know the exact regs on this one? Thanks,
James

PS. sorry for the silly pose, I was checking dash/wheel location

Certainly wouldn't have thought so - have you seen the size of modern A pillars to pass 5 star crash test? Take a look at a Zafira, more pillars than screen!

Surely that's a MIG engined car?

Sorry, I'll get me coat...

ISTR the NCF blitz looked similar. Oh yes, just found it!

somebodies sharp today!

The blitz looks to have almost the exact same obstructions - I should be OK then

Typical for me...

Can't even get a simple quip right
Shows you all my level of experience with welding though

Someone should tell me to get back in my garage (or lay off red wine!)
