Re: Can I drive legally with no lights or cycle wings?

A horn is a necessity.


Does it have to be a horn? Would a hand bell not suffice? Or a trumpet?

Re: Can I drive legally with no lights or cycle wings?

Thanks Jeremy

I thought that was the answer, especially after seeing a bunch of open wheeled vintage stuff driving to/from the Goodwood Festival of Speed at the weekend but was unsure if they had a special permission...

Looks like it might be a blast this weekend then :-)

We are surely annoying enough to those behind as it is, reducing them to a snails pace, asphyxiating them with smoke and covering them with a thin film of oil. Showering them with grit, stones and gravel may well prove to be the last straw.

That the law seems to be lenient or at least interpreted leniently is something that I think we need to respect in order to maintain the status quo.


Just re-read my post after a couple of glasses of Tesco's Aussie red...my God it sounded pompous, apologies folks but I hope you get my drift!

Re: Can I drive legally with no lights or cycle wings?

6V motorcycle horns are hardly expensive (about £6 on eBay) - and they are effective. As virtually all sevens would have had one originally, I can't see why one should not be fitted even if it is within the rules to do so.

ETA - about £11 actually, see http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BSA-AJS-NORTON-TRIUMPH-CLASSIC-MOTORCYCLE-HORN-6V-/322026563919?hash=item4afa47694f:m:mSoR4s_2SY7s8mbmwC8165Q
