Rear Reflectors

[ihrr]

Hi

Vehicle is a scratchbuilt 53 International Step side Pickup on a LWB Range Rover chassis and running gear.

I have a pair of Harley Davidson reflectors (25sqcm each) that I want to fit to the back of each rear fender (300mm up from the ground), this appears to be fine height wise and to indicate the width, but they will be approx. 300mm forward of the back of the bed.

I've read the vehicle lighting equipment section 2.9 and there is a minimum height of 250mm and max inboard measurement of 400mm, Is there a viewing angle for rear reflectors?.

Cheers Nick

Good question!

There's no legal requirements that we've found that dictate the visibility angles of reflectors, so as long as you meed the other requirements (which you've mentioned above) then you should be ok. Obviously the reflectors must be angled to face horizontally, as opposed to facing up to the sky.

Hope this helps.
