This inspection applies to:
all machines except those which either have no front or rear position lamps or
have such lamps permanently disconnected, painted over or masked that are
• only used during daylight hours, and
• not used at times of seriously reduced visibility
If this situation occurs the machine presenter should be issued with a VT32 (advisory
notice) recording the above.
Statutory reflectors
Mopeds and motor bicycles require one unobscured red reflector which is aligned
to the vehicles longitudinal centre line and is positioned to reflect squarely
to the rear. If the motorcycle is fitted with a side car the side car will also
require a reflector fitted towards the nearside and positioned to reflect squarely
to the rear.
Extra reflectors fitted to a motorcycle are not included in this inspection.
Reflecting and Retroreflective tape must NOT be regarded as a substitute
for an obligatory reflector. |
1. Check the presence
and colour of the rear reflector (two in the case of a motorcycle combination,
one on the motorcycle and the other on the sidecar). (see information column).
2. Examine the reflector(s) for condition, security position and that it is not
obscured.
