Legal requirements
As with any laws the legal requirements for what you can and cannot do to your car differs according to which country you are in.
In the United Kingdom, it is illegal to have blue lights fitted as the head light bulbs or anywhere else on the vehicle as the emergency vehicles use blue lighting and police are concerned they can cause confusion among other drivers. It is the same in The Netherlands, however they are allowed under lighting to be blue if the car is on display but they must be switched off if the car is on a public road.
Belgium is amongst only a handful of country’s who state that bodykits must be approved for safety before being fitted, a law that many believe should be imposed by many other countries.
The only country to impose restrictions on who can modify their cars is Australia. If you are on a P plate i.e. you have passed the driving test but believe other drivers should be aware that you have little experience in driving, you are prevented from driving modified vehicles.
In The United Kingdom it is illegal to have an exhaust without a silencer attached as they can cause massive noise polution. Number plates are also an issue that is a trend amongst the younger performance car drivers. They opt for the fancy italic writing and many like to create words using numbers that look similar to letters. An example being the number 5 instead of the letter S. This causes confusion if there was ever a need to read the number plate, i.e. in a robbery or accident. |
