STEP TWO

To check forward vision requirements, you’ll need to consult the CCM. Chapter 15.15, or section 2.3 of the LVV External Projections standard (available free online at the LVVTA website), is where you want to look, presuming that it’s a vehicle with a fixed roof that you’re working on. If it’s an open vehicle, the info is slightly different — see the break-out box below. As the GTO is a fixed-roof vehicle, we’re consulting Chapter 15.15, which states: “A low volume vehicle which has a fixed roof must not have any components or fittings forward of the firewall which protrude above a straight line from the centre-point of the windscreen measured both vertically and horizontally to: • In the case of protrusions 250mm or less in width, a point at ground level 15m forward of the front of the vehicle; or • In the case of protrusions between 250mm and 400mm in width, a point at ground level 12m forward of the front of the vehicle; or • In the case of protrusions 400mm or more in width, a point at ground level 8m forward of the front of the vehicle.”
