A vehicle has metal running surfaces in contact with the pavement. What does the general rule require for it to travel on a public road?

Correct answer

Cover the metal surfaces with elastic bands forming the outer contact with the pavement.

Fit elastic bands over those surfaces so the bands form the outer contact with the pavement, under Article 12.5.1 of the General Vehicle Regulations. Generic authorisation does not replace this requirement. Otherwise it may not travel with those surfaces on the road; carrying it on another vehicle avoids its own running surfaces contacting the road.
