Glorious Evening .....

[Guest docter fox]

I plan to be out tomorrow

 

wanted a dawn drive but don't think I'll get up in time

[Guest charlyfarly]

Well after an afternoon of tinkering to get back on the road made a packup supper, blatted over the hills and enjoyed the sun going down over the Dunstable Downs.

 

I do just love the burble burble burble braaaaaaAAAAAAAAPPPPPP of the short bit of hill climb near Whipsnade *ahem*

 

And as of the last disc change mine is tucked under the stereo's rain cover on the passenger side of of the tunnel. I'm looking out for one of those bike ones to bolt to the windscreen mount.

That's what i have too.... reputedly also illegal, but nevermind!

You're kidding right? I mean the only legal requirement I thought was to display it so it was visible, don't tell me there is some sort of shenanigans about it facing front or having to be actually on the windscreen?

 

Anyway going to carry on that route and if asked point out its better than the $%&@* thing keep blowing off no matter how much tape you put on the holder

Er, sorry.. but yes

 

Technically it has to be displayed on the nearside of the windscreen (so it can be read without having to venture out into the road).

 

However, don't despair. I would argue strongly on a car such as the seven with low seating and a small screen that to fix the disc in that position considerably reduces your field of vision on the nearside. Mine is fixed in a bike style holder to the nearside windscreen pillar. No-ones ever going to split that hair .... unless you wind them up of course!

I am sure when I checked it had to be visable from the pavement and at the front end of the vehicle. I am sure the rules didn't say it had to be in the windscreen.

From the DVLA:

 

You must display the disc on the near side (passenger side) of your vehicle’s windscreen. If the vehicle does not have a windscreen, the disc should be displayed on the near side of the vehicle.

 

Of course my 2B has a wind deflector, not a windscreen. It may be a big wind deflector made of glass but as the builder I can definatly say its a wind defelctor.

[Grim]

isn't a windscreen anything greater than 9" in height?

Hey Charlie, I was in Eaton bray in my hood at about 4:00 you could have seen me from the downs.

Is there an Echo in here?
